a desire to document exactly what kind of stuff a shop sells, so people<br>
have proposed stuff like<br>
<br>
motorcycle:tyres=yes<br>
<br>
service:tyres:car=yes<br>
<br>
service:bicycle:tyres=yes<br>
<br>
a hodgepodge of different ways of tagging and potential for 100s of keys.<br>
<br>
But it could be so simple:simply structure the value space.<br>
<br>
All of the above could be:<br>
<br>
sells=tyres:motorcycle;tyres:cars;tyres:bicycle;tools:cars<br>

Look at your own example, there's a standardization issue with plural (cars) vs. singular (motorcycle, bicycle). Freeform tagging always will bring us also a lot of variants.<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">If we open the sells="long list" box the only thing that will help us maintain a minimum of oversight will probably be the 255 char limit. On the other hand I can already imagine people inventing abbreviation codes to cram more things into the values.<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>I am not a CS person, and if the pros agree that overall, value lists are better than distinct properties, I will happily accept this, but currently I see issues with both.
