I did not saw your mail before, but I would propose the following notation:
for a place with several kind of services like a post office into a 
supermarket, I would propose the following:

tag:
amenity=supermarket
amenity=post_office

then for the properties, we could still use the description as usual, 
just extending the naming convention further:

name:supermarket=Systembolaget
operator:post_office=Deutsche Post

and so one.
Could it be a possibility which will also not break the rendering?
