[Tagging] shop=fashion shop=boutique

[Marc Gemis]

So if price and quality are no criteria for different tag, why do we have
deli and convenience store? Or is that difference bigger?

Or fast food and restaurant? The difference is only quality, price and
perhaps service. But even that is not always the case.

If we drop boutique as a tag for clothes shops, how does that solve the
tagging in West Africa? Or should we tell the mappers there to change their
tagging anyway?
