Is ignoring what the community did so far, a guideline ? People have<br>
used the tag boutique. So why cannot we take this practice and use<br>
that as the guideline ? Why change the currently used tags, causing a<br>
cost of all involved parties ?<br>

This is a serious question. I want to understand why people think the<br>
about differences are ok, but clothes and boutique not.<br>

I lack the understanding of what is meant by 'boutique' and 'fashion'.<br>
<br>
I think the terms could be used for a very wide variety of features.<br>
<br>
The tag shop=cloths I understand and don't see any confusion over it.<br>
<br>
If 'fashion' simply means cloths with some added parameters then I would think it should be a sub tag. The same for 'boutique'.<br>
<br>
If they mean something different from cloths .. then what are they? And I don't want terms like - more expensive, finer materials, better design - these are either subjective and/or sub tags.<br>
<br>
Fuel stations that do not sell diesel are not given a separate main tag - they get a sub tag.<br>
And yes some things in OSM have been given main tags where, with more organisation, they could have been better with sub tags. 'Path' and footpath spring to mind.<br>
