[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Cash acceptance at PoS

Hi,

please note that in many regions the acceptance of cash is the default 
assumption. I would be VERY unhappy if "members of the cash community" 
started to tag every shop in my country with "payment:cash=yes" just for 
the shop to appear on someone's "cash accepted here" page, and I would 
likely revert such an edit if I found it to be an organised effort.

On the other hand of course it makes sense to tag those shops that 
deviate from the national default and reject cash payments with 
"payment:cash=no".

I welcome your interest in this matter (as I myself am wary of the 
decline of cash as a privacy-friendly payment method) but please do not 
make the same mistake that other enthusiasts sometimes make and build a 
simple website that then (because instead of working with sensible 
standard assumptions) claims that hundreds of thousands of shops in the 
country don't accept cash just because they don't have a payment:cash=yes.

Bye
Frederik
