What if a country does have kiosks, but the list of goods most often sold at kiosks is different than what the usual list would be in Germany? Are we likely to end up with an edit war on the wiki? I thought one of the goals was to try to make the tags reflect international usage, not just the usage in a single country. Where there is a dispute, we tend to fall back to British usage. For any UK folks on the list, what goods would you expect a kiosk store to sell, by default?

There's a list of stuff potentially sold in a kiosk (at least here in germany). I don't know if I can buy public transport tickets at a specific kiosk - until I ask about it at that kiosk. Same goes with a supermarket. Do you know if a supermarket will sell you a broom? Some will and some won't. We've never had a discussion about what the minimum assortment of goods a supermarket has to sell before we call it a supermarket. We simply tag it and go on. If other countries don't have such kind of shops, then don't tag it that way - where is the problem? If other countries have to name it newsstand (although it sells nearly the same "kiosk like stuff"), then tag it as shop=newsstand - where is the problem? Trying to discuss that there's no such thing as "kiosk like stuff" that a kiosk sells is simply bullshit. If you don't have such kiosks or no such "kiosk like stuff" in your country, fine, then don't use the shop=kiosk tag.
