[Tagging] Pre-RFC: shop=mall versus shop=shopping_centre

[Paul Johnson]

The third is functionally an esplanade (far, far more people walk it than
drive it), and it's official name is the Portland Mall.  Originally it only
had bus lanes on it, but Portland being too cheap to install bus traps and
not exactly having the most rigorous enforcement decided to add a third
lane about six years ago for through and left turning cars as well to
prevent interfering with transit service.
