[OSM-newbies] Map Level of Detail for retail sales, brand and pricing

[Tac Tacelosky]

I know there is enormous flexibility with tags, but also guidelines as to
when they are appropriate.  My original plan was to edit / add nodes to OSM
that are convenience stores, then use our database to flag the outdoor
advertising, which is information that one client is interested in.

What tags are appropriate to include with OSM?  I'm interested in what
products stores sell (e.g. cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, beer, other
booze, lottery tickets).  Within those categories, we sometimes want to
know brand and pricing information.

My thought is that this kind of stuff doesn't belong in OSM, but wanted to
hear your thoughts.

PS Is newbies the right list for this kind of question?  I've re-applied to
the -dev list, but  I don't think I'm on yet.
