shops should be tagged with shop=<shop category>, which refers to the
kind of stuff sold, also in cases like supermarket or convenience,
which are less obvious then e.g. shop=electronics.

shop=kiosk breaks this rule, as it doesn't refer to the sold products
but to the building typology.

Therefore I'd like to propose to use building=kiosk and mark
shop=kiosk as deprecated. The 10184 uses of shop=kiosk should be
retagged by local mappers to indicate the product(s) sold (newspaper,
fast_food, lottery-stuff, tobacco, etc.)

For me, a kiosk is a special kind of a (very small) shop, as a supermarket is a special kind of shop. We don't tag the kind of stuff you'll buy in a supermarket. Same thing here.


However, it is a misconception in the wiki, that shop=kiosk must be a special kind of building. A kiosk can just be a window or part of a fuel station, or ...


If you find a kiosk, mark it as shop=kiosk.
So if you find a kiosk *building*, you could mark it as building=kiosk.
