I can see why someone might want to record company offices/businesses in OSM... <br><br>But... <br><br>as I mentioned on the proposal talk page, I'm not convinced that a publisher is an amenity... publisher could be a value for a business/business_type/etc key which could then be used to record many other types of business, I'm sure the people who are responsible for some of the micromapping of shopper areas would like this as they run out of shopping areas and look to hit the business parks etc...<br>

Well, to be honnest, I don't see the point.<br>
<br>
We could scroll the activities' list of any Yellow Pages company and get hundreds of activities. All of them would deserve to be in OSM...<br>
But how many are useful? Only the ones related to health, food, sport, culture, education...<br>
<br>
As nobody will ever buy a paper directly from the publisher, the indication is of limited intererest. So let's populate the Kiosks tags in OSM instead of Publishers.<br>

Sorry for my fist post. This is my first proposal and I am very new to this.<br>

Intent: To mark the location of a publisher. Could be a magazine,<br>
newspaper, music, software, book, etc...<br>
