[Tagging] shop=kiosk

[Peter Wendorff]

  Hi Martin.
I fear, this proposal would not lead to a better solution - at least, as 
long there is no good solution for the multivalue-problem discussed 
currently.

I think, shop=kiosk referres to a usual mixture of goods sold there: 
newspapers, lottery-stuff, tobacco, sweets.

shop=newspapers would be wrong - that IMHO are the shops often found in 
train stations selling newspapers only (but usually with a wider, often 
international diversity).
shop=tobacco is completely different in some countries; often 
concentrating on pipes, ziggarrs (is that the correct english word?) 
etc., while a kiosk usually sells "standard" cigarrettes in it's main focus.
shop=lottery-stuff is often a kiosk (at least here in Germany), but I 
would prefer to tag lottery stuff as an additional tag.
Even sweets are no good solution as single value as sweet shops don't 
sell the other goods mentioned here.

Using building=kiosk, shop=* with these values would lead to 
shop="sweets, tobacco, lottery-stuff, newspapers" - and every other 
alternative order of these values.
Using building=kiosk additionally would be wrong for every kiosk build 
in a common house, like shown on these pictures:

Of course you are right: there is the building type "kiosk", and I 
think, it's worth to consider that for tagging as building=kiosk, but it 
should not substitute the shop=kiosk.

regards
Peter
