IMHO this causes some problem, as most/many shops that I know of, that are
photo studios also sell photo equipment and develop film. The problem is
that almost no application or editor supports multiple values like
shop=photo_studio;photo_equipment.
If you define photo_studios to explicitly exclude photo_equipment-stores,
how would you propose to tag combinations?
