What harm could come from defining them?

For example, I second them all (I need lot of beauty and cash shops in
regions I'm maping). Yes, there propably someone somehwere in OSM
would tag them differently, but these tags sound general enough to fit
anyone's needs and there could be additional tags if needed some
additional information.

More and more I read list and wiki, more I convinced that:
a) it is more or less proven that 'tag it and they will come' could
work when there is isolated count of volunteers. With increase of them
and huge increase of amount of data standartisation should be done
ahead as much as possible. You
b) Yes, we need another list and sort of team which stears and
streamlines our tagging. I think most of us don't care if it is mega
official or not. Just clear sane guidelines and tagging practice;

Cheers,
Peter.
