We have here an example of something which has the same name but means quite 
different things in several different countries.

I've just looked up what it means in Australia, because I didn't know, and it 
is again slightly different from any other country.

Instead of making proposals for office=lawyer and office=notary
could someone consider starting a whole set to include
accountants
architects
surveyors
lawyers
engineers
insurance agents
produce agents
publisher
real estate agent
geologist
mortgage broker
politician

i have made no effort to see if there any existing tags which overlap with 
those i listed
