However, wiki clearly says shop=stationery includes office supply stores such as Staples and Office Max/Depot. JOSM and iD have presets for shop=stationary. In iD there is no results for office supplies. Office points to Office Depot which will tag it as stationery. Based on history I agree that shop=office_supplies should be deprecated.
