Ok.

Ok, I'll give up. But I will just point out that, while you insist it is "just asking for trouble", imagine a wiki page that says something like: "If you're not sure whether the place should be tagged as an amenity=restaurant, cafe or fast_food, this flowchart is provided as a guide. However, keep in mind that these tags have been used vaguely and subjectively for years, and may continue to be used as such into the future." That seems an improvement to me, but it appears I am alone.
