<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I understand resistance to regional use pages where the same tags are used differently based on location, but a necessary evil in some case, e.g. highway tagging. That avoiding the practice is the best case.<br />
<br /></div>However, is there any problem with regional property tags; that is, tags used in one region to express an important concept or property of the entity tagged but little used (or maybe even understood) elsewhere? Would tags like euro_bakery=yes/no, euro_pastry=yes/no and each defined with the specifics of "Bäckerei", "Konditorei", "forno", "pasticceria", "boulangerie" , "pâtisserie", etc. as appropriate be of any use?<br />
