I know, and from a German perspective it's easier to follow you, but
this is not a German project, so at least tag shop=DE:kiosk

do you agree that there are kiosks that don't sell newspapers, tobacco
and tickets but only food, icecream and coffee? And others sell only
newspapers? Both would be called kiosk in Germany, as long as they are
in a kiosk (building-type).

no. Supermarket is not a building type (well, not only) but a shop
type. Internationally kiosk is not a shop type, in Germany it might
be.

the problem is that there are kiosks. People are getting confused. I
pushed this from the Italian mailing list.

again, we have kiosks, we don't have kiosk-like-stuff.
