[Tagging] Keys to which new values can be added without a proposal: craft=, shop=, building=, office=, sport=?

[Joseph Eisenberg]

I can't believe I didn't notice the misspelling. Well, that is a major
problem with this value.

How about "craft=artist" then? The tag "craft=atelier" was described
as for any type of artist: "workshop of a ...professional artist in
the fine or decorative arts"

Wikipedia says "In art, the atelier consists of a master artist,
usually a professional painter, sculptor, or from the mid-19th century
a fine art photographer, working with a small number of students to
train them in visual or fine arts. This very word has also taken on
other similar meanings, indicating a place of work and study of the
haute couture fashion designer, hair stylist and artists in general"

The Key:craft page suggests that values should take the form of a
singular noun describing the craftsperson: "If using the English
language, please use the singular form, e.g. carpenter not carpenters"
- so "artist" or "designer" or "fine_art_painter" is better than a
word that describes the whole workshop/studio/building.
