I would see these as sub tags for laundry=yes, much like self_service
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:self_service>=/yes/no. /so they
would be used with laundry=yes tag.
A warning example is the dryer key ... that feature can also be taken as
a drying room in the UK, fruit drying in agriculture... by using it with
the laundry tag the confusion is removed.
//To document them I would use the discussion page of laundry ...
/http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:shop%3Dlaundry///This keeps
them off the 'approved' status page of laundry. /
/
washing_machine=yes is implied in laundry=yes, as such I would not
suggest it./

My point is that these things are not rare and can be found in most
populated places, the names changes a bit as you can expect.

I have little idea what automated=yes means .. where is it documented?
It could mean that you put your washing in one machine and it
automatically is washed, dried, and ironed from the one entry ... dream on.
