If i'm not wrong then there seems to be no tag for shop that is specialised
in selling (and repairing) garden and forest machinery (lawnmovers,
chainsaws, trimming machines, etc.) and lightweight garden/forest tools like
saws, shovels, axes, etc. Can anyone suggest something better than
shop=garden_and_forest_machinery . I would make a proper proposal for it ,
but first I would like to have an understandable name under what to make
that proposal.
Sounds pretty niche. If we don't want thousands of specific, niche
tags, we need to group. Maybe shop=machinery, machinery=garden;forest
I'm just trying to picture how a renderer would cope with so many
incredibly specific tags. Can you imagine a thousand different icons?
Would they even be recognisable?
That's for the renderer to sort out... We just need to make sure that
the data makes/enables the distinctions that we do as humans. The
renderer can always map multiple tags onto the same icon if it wants to.
I think I would call this Garden Tools. If it wasn't for the use of the
word "lightweight" even Agricultural Equipment might be appropriate but
that would likely include "big boys toys" like combine harvesters as
well. Tag it lke it is. Where would one look in the "yellow pages"
(business telephone directory organised by category)?
