Thought I’d cc John McKerrell on this in case he wants to chime in. He is the
guy behind OpenStreetView.

Sorry to be late chiming in.
About a year ago Sean Horgan, Craig Wallace and I thrashed out some ideas for
charity shops. It just seemed wrong not to tag an Oxfam bookshop as shop=books!
The discussion was fruitful although, reprehensibly, we didn't put anything in
the wiki.
I think Craig's
Historical event geotagging could rapidly get out of hand. This feels to me
very much orthogonal to OSM - almost every news story, photo, work of art, etc
arguably deserves a geotag, but hardly any of them deserve to be in OSM. A
separate database is where things like this should reside, where

The other day I tidied up a road junction near where I live in Bristol, moving
nodes and deleting a way with the aid of Bing imagery. I found it more
problematic than I expected because of a bus route that went along the road -
the deleted way seems to have confused things.
Here are the two

The whole point of the social_facility, as described on the wiki, is clearly
around helping people at that place. Charity shops such as Oxfam and British
Heart Foundation - even if they have broad aims of social justice - just
don't fit into this at all. And RSPCA shops? They explicitly have

Indeed it can vary from one street segment to another. This matters not a jot
to the idea of automated node positioning. If there are substantial differences
within a street segment, then another method of indicating width may be better
- perhaps a guess in metres.
Anyway I think I'll make an

That in mind I don't think it's really useful.
There ARE already mechanisms to divide housenumber-interpolations to
individual nodes (e.g. in JOSM) for an estimated positioning of these.

Could work really well: fill in the address for the first shop, it gets
prefilled (maybe housenumber preinc/decremented) for the next shop.
Or mappers can leave addressing to a separate survey.

How will it handle multiple businesses
In some detailed shop tagging I'm doing it feel's like I'm missing a method of
declaring that a given shop is more than the width of one shop unit. I'm
considering adding units=2, units=3 etc for such cases.

I'm posting here a link to a proposal for date formatting that I just added to
the start_date wiki page:

The motivator was the discovery of many tag values of unfeasible heterogeneity
in start_date. Taginfo reports 18313 usages (2814 distinct),
