Nice ideas.  The only one I'd question is shop=vacant, as 'vacant' is
neither a type of shop (as in bakery, butcher) nor a type of good sold in a
shop (as in books, shoes). Something like landuse=retail; unoccupied=yes
might be better. That said, I can't see shop=vacant being particularly
ambiguous (unless there are shops selling vacants that I don't know about).

On a more general point, I don't particularly see the need to go through the
whole formal proposal process rigmarole for every new type of shop. Call me
reckless, but I'd just go ahead and add the tag, and then document it either
on the Key:shop page, or on a new Tag:shop=whatever page.

P.S I've tagged Scientology centres with shop=religion  :-)
