Just a small interjection from a native British speaker. Shopping_centre
is the normal term. "mall" is rarely encountered.

That said, I appreciate the distinction in question, and not sure that I
have much constructive to say. But I do agree that shop= seems like the
wrong tag for an area or a building containing multiple shops. as
another post said, landuse=retail (or building=retail?) is surely far better.
