Hi all, I'm in favor of a namespace solution, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Namespace e.g.
ski:clothes=yes surfing:clothes=yes motorcycle:clothes=yes any_other_sport:clothes=yes and so on. This way you may also tag other shops (not just shop=clothes) in a way which exactly describes their offers, in this example possibly a shop=sports. The same works also for other services they offer, like ski:repair=yes ski:rental=yes ski:parts=yes This way there's no need to create a new shop type or decide whether it's MORE one type of shop (bicycle vs. motorcycle vs. car or similar) in case they offer very various things.
