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

[osmmailinglists.ju6n8 at thibaultmol.link]

I think for something like this it's justified though.
"acceptance of cash is the default ASSUMPTION"
if the shop has no tags, it's unknown.
if it has the tag payment:cash=yes then you're certain.
if it has the tag payment:cash=no then you're also certain.

If something isn't tagged, openstreetmap can't know.

Why would tagging that be a bad thing?

This is different from not tagging a city name on every house in that city,
because there the relation of the city can be used to determine it,
software wise.

cheers,
Thibault
