I disagree with this.

In such circumstances I tag it as landuse=retail
I work on the principle of what the end user will more likely want to 
find: The nearest local shops with a KFC outlet, or the dingy bedsit 
above it.

ATM there's no clear tagging scheme to deal with multi level/multi usage 
developments & AFAIK, the major renderings don't show it.
