Indeed, as the person who put it on the Proposed_features page 
originally, bakery was only ever intended as an example, but it has 
somehow become inshrined.

I was expecting it to be shop=<shoptype> where shoptype is however the 
shop describes itself. shop=charcuterie or shop=zyklusgeschäft would be 
fine IMO.
