also shop_1 tags are created that way. I wonder why you would want to add these tags on purpose. E.g. for shops the values indicate a type of shop. A bookstore that also sells music cds? Still a bookstore IMHO. A music store that also sells some books? Still a music store. Now, a store that sells both, music cds and books, and maybe dvds and posters, maybe still a bookstore, maybe a new category like a media store, not sure, would have to decide on the particular case. In a majority of cases you still can decide on one of the types and that it is. A green grocer that also sells toothpaste, detergents, toys and cheese? That likely not a green grocer any more, that's either a convenience store or a supermarket. What I want to say: a shop that is 2 shops in one might well be neither of these shop types, but a new typology. In other cases, there is a well defined shop/restaurant/bar/kiosk/... which also offers some odd service or product you might find in some but not all of this kind of business, and which you consider so interesting that you want to map the presence of it. Examples might be tobacco/cigarettes, icecream, particular soft drinks (club_mate comes to mind [1]), public transport tickets, fresh milk, etc. My solution for this is sells:foo=yes(/no/etc.) Obviously we wouldn't want people to tag the whole assortment of a supermarket like this, but due to the amount of work the risk is low. People will likely just tag the things they are particularly interested in, and that are not automatically thought of being available generally. So far the list is small ;-) [2] Now, there are also edge cases, i.e. types that are so rare that you probably won't find more than a handful on the whole globe, my favorite one is this: http://www.23hq.com/dieterdreist/photo/7089481?album_id=4242149 that's an optician who also runs a polish deli shop in the same shop (and it's the same person, one door, same opening hours, not sure if it's one business actually (on a legal level), but let's suppose for this discussion that it is). My suggestion is to map them as two overlapping shops rather than shop=foo shop_1=bar. For the avoidance of doubt you can add the same VAT identification number (ref:vatin). For names, the solution should be to use well defined name key variations, there's a whole lot of them [3], and introducing just another infinite amount of indexed ones seems completely unnecessary.
