Personally, I don't really like the idea of a myriad distinct "shop=*"
tags - it means any software that deals with the data has to support
them all, or report merely "some kind of shop".

Compare:
shop=fish
(software that doesn't know about fish shops only knows that it's a shop)

shop=pet
pet=fish;terrapins
(most software can render it as a pet store. fancy software can get
more specific)
