The thing is that those wiki definitions are often intended for a native speaking audience and the writers assumed, that the conotations were clear and had not to be specified. Standing as such those definitions are therefore in many cases quite lousy and incomplete. The fast food -definition is IMHO an example of this (and the fact that someone felt the need to have an example (McDonald's) underlines this). Even if under some aspects ice cream can be defined as fast food I wouldn't tag it in this "main" class: if you are looking for fast_food (without specifying the cuisine subtag) you wouldn't want to find ice cream (e.g. to go for lunch). As main class for ice cream I'd put "sweet food" instead of "fast food". cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
