Point for you. I guess I can not correct this case only with a script because of
this special case I was not really aware of. I will be more careful here.

You mean "should not"? I agree … This value has to be checked by a human as
described above.

I already run 'bots' (better called scripts in this case) to find opening_hours
which can not be parsed: https://github.com/ypid/opening_hours.js#large-scale

Or on a map: http://openingh.openstreetmap.de/?setLng=en

Are there any thoughts about that second rule.
* 'nach vereinbarung' -> '"nach Vereinbarung"'
which would only impact German values? Or are there also some special cases
which I did not think of?

? JOSM Validator for opening_hours uses the same library in the background as
http://openingh.openstreetmap.de/evaluation_tool/
and when I test the value '"appointment"' (excluding the single quotes) it does
not show any warnings.
