I stumble from time to time upon these, the reason for this post was
amenity=marketplace.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Marketplace
but this was already in proposal phase linking to wikipedia:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Approved_features/Marketplace

when you read the linked wikipedia-page about marketplaces you will
see that there is no pictures of indoor markets and there is a
distinct lemma for them, linked from "see also":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_house

So one might get the impression that for indoor markets we should use
another tag. But if you looked at the original proposal you could
notice that market halls were also implied in the marketplace tag (so
I clarified yesterday the description of the tag to make it less
ambiguous).

Another one would be (still proposed)
