Unlike some who only work with XML and wireframe, I actually refer to
Mapnik and Osmarender as a quick way to double check my work. And it is
very unintuitive to see a large blank space which contains
shop=department_store. Even for a pure street map, shops may be useful -
many people navigate from a paper map by following landmarks - "Turn right
at the SuperWalMart" , not "Turn right by the big unlabeled building which
could be a store, factory, school, civic center".
I would be happy to see shop=* added to Mapnik, even if the name takes
the lowest priority for available space.
