We need a generic way of separating function from the form, in case they 
are not the same, just like what we do with buildings, for example:

building=church (form)
amenity=museum (function)

For objects smaller than building "building:part=*" is probably not the 
answer, since it is a 3D tag and this form description rather belongs to 
indoor mapping, so I would say room=* ( 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:room ) is the proper key. Hence 
for example:

room=store (or maybe "shop" to be coherent with our nomenclature)
office=estate_agent

looks quite good to me, but because we are not really sure what is the 
real difference between office=* and shop=* namespaces, we should 
probably just drop it and make it:

room=shop (...or the "office", or any other form this room has)
estate_agent=yes

Note, that it also allows us enhancing addressing in a natural way:

room:ref=23 (because addr:door=* may be not precise if a room has more 
doors)

Room may be a node if we don't know its exact placement and dimensions, 
but we can turn it into full indoor area once we know where the inner 
walls really are.
