[Tagging] Clothes subtags (was "Tagging Digest, Vol 96, Issue 3" and before that "shop=fashion")

[Dave Swarthout]

I think before we can agree on this particular subtagging scenario we must
resolve whether to use "sells" or "sales" as the action verb. I'm all in
favor of using some sort of hierarchical structure to fine-tune the shop
tag as Thilo suggests but as you can see from Taginfo, the confusion exists
already and will only get worse down the road if it's not resolved.

As a native speaker of American English, clothes:sales=yes makes sense. It
does not _necessarily_ imply a special price or promotion but it's
ambiguous. The verb sells makes it clearer and unambiguous.

My 2 cents
