[Tagging] business closed for renovation - tagging best practice

[Janko Mihelić]

I think we should invent a tag for "temporary out of work" things. If you
download an offline map and go abroad, the application could estimate that
a few months have passed, and that a caffe could be open now, or that a
road could be open. When you put a "highway=construction" on the road, it
is closed for good if you don't have internet.

I reccomend something like "closed=yes" and if you have an idea about the
time when it could open, "closed:until=YYYY-MM-DD". You could add a reason
for closing, "closed:reason=renovation" or "closed:reason=construction".

This way we could even put real-time data like a shop closed for one day.

When a "closed:until" comes to an end, a bot could delete them
automatically.
