Some things, not necessarily related to your changes:

  * Geography top entry: better use icon for border or landuse rather 
then the icon for place, which is quite similar to "man_made"

  * a lot of entries under "Travel" I would not expect to find there: 
Restaurant, Playground, ...
    for me, "Travel" has also associations with streets and traffic, 
maybe a top level entry "Tourism" would suffice

  * The tag keys (amenity, man_made) are no longer consistently mapped 
to the menu entries - so maybe not use these expressions at all.

  * menu entry Man Made > Buildings is strange as there are a lot of 
buildings in other categories

  * i could imagine top level entry "Buildings", then "Shop" and as 
third level submenu "Foods"

    - annotations -> sub entry of "Buildings"

  * possible category "Service": could include the current amenity, 
financial, health

Just my 2 ct. :)
