Yes, of course, what was I thinking! Centre of the Universe searches come up beautifully: "restaurants near Otley", "cafes near Otley".

Perhaps I meant "as they become even more sophisticated" - "eating places" as a group, "indian restaurants", maps with multiple POI markers and pop-ups showing the sub-tags, that sort of thing.  But I am sure you are thinking or working on that already.  Detailed tagging contributions will become more valuable.
