[Tagging] craft vs office for service enterprises/establishments.

[Daniel Bégin]

I see your point. I may be mired with language issues (English is not my native language) but either I create a “business” tag and document it or I use office?

Well I have always thought office=?? was pretty weird and was USA
dialect for what I would tag as business=electrician or
business=electrical_services. But the tag 'business' is undocumented and
unsupported, although I have used it ocasionally over several years.

I think that office=... only makes sense where the main function of the
premises is to act as ... an office :-)
