If its vacant, then its not a shop, so shouldn't be tagged as such.
IMHO a shop is a shop because it is officially commercial space (and
not residential), it has a separate entrance (usually from the
street), it has appropriate windows, etc. Of course there might be
exceptions, but I think you get it.
I disagree. A shop is by definition a place selling products or
services. And if its empty its not doing that.
Yes, it might still be commercial space, so within an area of
landuse=retail or whatever, but its not a shop.
ie use a separate namespace, so tag it something like disused:shop=yes
Then it can be easily ignored by applications that just want to show
currently existing shops, or rendered differently etc.
that's a good idea as well, and very versatile.
Yes, plus it would allow tagging other disused things. eg
disused:amenity= for things like cafes, pubs, postboxes, phoneboxes etc,
which I think would be useful.
Or you could tag what sort of disused shop it is (or was). eg
disused:shop=supermarket or whatever.
