Hi.
Thought about the idea, and perhaps the following approach could work (better):

Assume, the mapper wants to collect the shops in a street segment.
- walk from one end of the segment to the other in approximately constant speed (arbitrarily slow/fast). - press button everytime passing a shop "position" (where the node should be later)
- use microphone or keyboard to add notes to the individual nodes added
- later post-process the nodes - more or less automatically.

regards
Peter

In some detailed shop tagging I'm doing it feel's like I'm missing a method of declaring 
that a given shop is more than the width of one "shop unit". I'm considering 
adding units=2, units=3 etc for such cases.

I think it would be particularly useful to demonstrate that the whole of a row 
of shops has been surveyed. After taking account of the units tag, any gaps in 
a line of nodes - on a fully surveyed street - could be taken to be private 
houses or empty space.

Of course there's no standard width for a shop. Yet that need not matter - in 
very many places there is a consistency of shop widths, a width that can be 
deduced from the typical node spacing.

Are there any other methods people have been using to denote this? Maybe 
width=<n>  units would be better.

Note that nodes on street corners don't necessarily work well with units=* or 
width=*...
