<div class="im">If you can generate a custom rendering of a
particular geographical area, opening (and closing) hours
could be useful. For example, if you are scheduling an
all-day business meeting that includes a lunch break, it would
be useful to give attendees a map that showed all restaurants
that are within a certain radius from the meeting, and would
be open at lunchtime.</div>

<div>Ideally yes - but keep in mind that not all amenities are
mapped, and not a lot (<-- euphemism) of them have the
opening hours. Of course, this shouldn't stop us from thinking
about tagging that. <br>
</div>

Well...<br>
1) a restaurant owner that complains about being ignored here may
add his own restaurant (and the opening hours himself)<br>
2) arguing with incomplete data in osm is valid for practical
reasons in the (data) users point of view, but IMHO not valid as an
argument for tagging opening hours. Suggest a company maintaining
e.g. business meetings regularly, this company could maintain the
opening hours in osm to make that data useable.<br>
<br>
Therefore: keep that in mind if you think about relying on osm
opening hours data for an application like that, but don't omit
opening hours in future because there won't be applications in that
field due to incomplete data.<br>
