I've not yet seen a "prescription_only_medicines" pharmacy, and I support being pharmacies under "amenity" because they are different to a shop (they also prepare medicines, are extremely regulated). > Doing it this way would of course require support for multi-valued keys > (semicolons!) which many people are allergic to; > no, you could do it like this: sells:prescription_requiring_medicines=yes/only/no .... sells:sunglasses=yes .... the problem I see is how you would evaluate such a list in order to normalize it to a few categories. It's likely not impossible for pharmacies alone, but if you do it for all businesses selling something, it will get extremely hard and complicated (long) to do it. And you should know a lot of details about the places for which you are offering your map... Cheers, Martin
