I strongly disagree.
"shop=kiosk" is a very strange kind of tag. It says all about design of a 
shop, but says nothing about the goods that sold in the shop.

We (here in Russia) have many different kinds of kiosks. There are kiosks 
selling only ice-cream, selling only fruits, and selling only flowers. There 
are press kiosks, that sell newspapers, magazines, popular pocket-books, city 
maps and some stationary (and sometimes tiny toys). And there are kiosks (they 
fit best to the shop=kiosk tag) selling snacks, cigarettes, sweets, juices and 
beer, but they never sell newspapers; and selling wines and vodka in a kiosk 
is prohibited, so you never find that kind of beverages in a kiosk.

So there is no typical assortment of goods sold in kiosks. It would be better 
to tag kiosks as ordinary shop (shop=convenience, shop=news_agent, 
shop=greengrocer or even shop=general) with addition of "building=kiosk".

Sometimes "man_made=kiosk" is good variant too. We have many greengrocer 
kiosks that are not buildings. They consist of wooden frame covered with tent 
and have shelves for fruits and window.
