[Talk-GB] Name Suggestion Index

[Paul Berry]

Continuing with the Hotel Chocolat example, it could well be the case that
most are tagged with shop=confectionery because that was the nearest-fit
tag that was suggested when each was initially mapped. If the more precise
tag of shop=chocolate is now available we should make adjustments so that
iD suggests this as an "upgrade" the next time someone is making an edit in
or around one of them. Some of their shops offer a cafe/restaurant service
as well, which should be suggested as a second tier of tags.

Yours chocolatey,
*Paul*
