That's debateable, I'd say it was.  "disused:shop=blah" (or "yes") would 
work too and is used, though not nearly as many as shop=vacant (9k vs 2k 
for http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=disused%3Ashop ).

Now you're just making it up as you're going along* :)  No uses in OSM, 
though

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=vacant_shop%3Dyes

finds 8 shop:vacant=yes.

Cheers,

Andy
