[OSM-talk] Fast tracking map feature proposals.

[Gregory]

I was actually thinking about the shop tag today...
It should be more like the building= and amenity=place_of_worship tags.

Building
Renderers show anything that has a value for the 'building' key without
caring what exactly is the value (unless they're a specialist renderer or
it's one the renderer cares about). The name tag can be used, which can
sometimes be enough to let you know what it is.

Place_of_worship
There were no strict list of values for religion or denomination to be used.
The wiki page does however list the values used as of feb 2007(when someone
searched the db) and how many time each one was used. When I first started
mapping I refered to this page to make sure I did the most common (christian
or christianity, spelling, capitilisation etc. for religions and
denominations).

We don't need to propose every single shop value, render admins just need to
know what's been used, and mappers need to know what would be most sensible
to use.
