[Talk-GB] Birmingham New Street station re-opens

[SK53]

One strategy is to try & map shops at one level as areas; and map shops in
remaining areas as nodes; the nodes can be slightly offset so that all are
visible. It's a bit of a kludge, but providing the tagging is sensible
about using layer & building:level etc, it's not tagging for the renderer,
merely choosing a particular convention for mapping.
