What is the preferred way to design tags:
First scenario
* One key, multiple values
* Multiple keys, single values
Using the proposed shop=pet as an example:
* grooming=yes: The shop offers pet grooming services
* kennel=yes: The shop offers kennel (pet keeping or tending) services
* training=yes: The shop offers obedience training services
Or
* service=(grooming;kennel;training)
Second scenario
*One node, multiple functions
*Multiple nodes, single functions
The example for this scenario is a subway entrance that is also a bus
station entrance. Should the node be tagged both
railway=subway_entrance and amenity=bus_station (er...think it's
amenity), or should two nodes be created, even though there is one
entrance (the same situation could as easily apply to an area, too.
Cheers,
