This seems to imply that wayside_cross is a subclass of wayside shrine (all
instances of crosses are also shrines)?

What about this:

similar to this:

Although the former, like the cross or the column, do not "enshrine"
anything (you mentioned enshrining and I would agree it is a good criterion
for shrines).

Cheers,
Martin
