Over the past few days there have been a number of wiki edits (mainly but
not entirely in German) stating that shop=* and similar tags, contrary to
the “One feature, one OSM element” principle [1], should only ever be put
on nodes and not on building polygons. I’ve commented on an affected talk
page without any response.
Is there any justification for these edits?

Regardless of anyone's opinions on what the best way to map these
features is, both ways of mapping are extremely widespread. It's not
appropriate to mark a widespread mapping practice as incorrect without
community-wide discussion, and as far as I know no such discussion has
happened.
Therefore, in my opinion, the wiki changes should be reverted.

P.S.: If someone *does* want to start a discussion on that topic, it's
one I'm interested in.
