You're right. All we have to do is change all the editors to handle
</div>
<div>
your new way of specifying the extra opening hours. And then
</div>
<div>
change all the data consumers to handle the extra opening hours
</div>
<div>
that otherwise they may not display.

</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
And then live with the fact that people looking at the map to find a
</div>
<div>
post office won't see it because it's in a shop. Or maybe they won't
</div>
<div>
see the shop they're looking for because it's shown as a post office.
</div>
<div>
Or maybe we can then convince all the different cartos to display some
</div>
<div>
sort of new hybrid symbol.

It's all this that makes it such a great shame that we don't make more effort to get tagging schemes "right first time," extensible and future-proof to some degree. The current process is more like design by committee and a "war of attrition" - when all the combatants have lost the will to live, whatever is left on the table becomes the closest we get to a consensus.

When two people cannot agree on "the answer" it is also possible that they are both right - but from different perspectives. If we can recognise that, we can attempt to adjust the model to accommodate both.

In this case there are different aspects to be considered: the post office may have different opening hours; it may be either the primary or a subsidiary function of the premises; and may be operated by a different company. Maybe I have missed some others.

Now let's focus on a good way of turning these characteristics into tagging.
