I saw that.  Simply because someone else offered a different idea
doesn't make your idea "not good".  If I suggested that it should be
tagged "shop=office" AND "office=legal", would that be a better idea?

Neither one is documented in the wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office=legal
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=lawyer

(A note to anybody who thinks the wiki shouldn't be the be-all and
end-all: do you think that tags should all be documented?  Do you
think they should be documented in one place?  Then if not the wiki,
where?
