Is ignoring what the community did so far, a guideline ? People have
used the tag boutique. So why cannot we take this practice and use
that as the guideline ? Why change the currently used tags, causing a
cost of all involved parties ?
This is a serious question. I want to understand why people think the
about differences are ok, but clothes and boutique not.
I lack the understanding of what is meant by 'boutique' and 'fashion'.
I think the terms could be used for a very wide variety of features.
The tag shop=cloths I understand and don't see any confusion over it.
If 'fashion' simply means cloths with some added parameters then I would think
it should be a sub tag. The same for 'boutique'.
If they mean something different from cloths .. then what are they? And I don't
want terms like - more expensive, finer materials, better design - these are
either subjective and/or sub tags.
Fuel stations that do not sell diesel are not given a separate main tag - they
get a sub tag.
And yes some things in OSM have been given main tags where, with more
organisation, they could have been better with sub tags. 'Path' and footpath
spring to mind.
