Its also worth checking osmdoc to see what tags people are actually<br>
using. eg it has 59 uses of shop=charity (which seems rather low, I<br>
think I added about 5 of those), plus a few similar variations:<br>
<a href="http://osmdoc.com/en/tag/shop/charity%0Ashop=charity" target="_blank">http://osmdoc.com/en/tag/shop/charity<br>
shop=charity</a> probably should be added to the wiki.<br>
I've not heard of an "op shop" before - checking Wikipedia, its an<br>
Australia / New Zealand term, I think charity shop might be more<br>
international.<br>

<br>Also, didn't I read somewhere that it was okay to use terms that only have local relevance? Are there any policy/guideline documents behind tagging that I should read? As I've commented before, it makes no sense to me at all that the choice of what tags to use has so many different sources: wiki, tagwatch/osmdoc/..., potlatch/josm/merkaartor/..., mapnik/osmrender/...<br>
<br>Surely it's time to get a little more organised about this.<br><br>Steve<br>
