When I tag the perimeter with indoor=room instead of building=yes, JOSM raises 
an error "Overlapping ways" for the segment B->C in this kind of layout:
A-------->B--------->E
^             |             |
|             |             |
|             |             |
|             |             |
D<-------C<--------F

If I change the tags from indoor=wall to building=yes, no error is raised 
anymore (but then of course, Osmose will report overlapping building, which is 
the start of this discussion).

It seems indoor walls cannot overlap. Same if I try indoor=room.

If I delete B->C and tag as shop, then JOSM says the area is not closed.

How should I draw the perimeter of the shop ?

Thx.

My suggestion (based on Simple Indoor Tagging¹) is to tag the areas with their 
shop tag, level, and and other attributes such as name. So you get a closed way 
with some basic tags, for example:

name = Jack & Jones
shop = clothes
level = 0

There's no reason to keep the nodes around once you have mapped the shops as 
areas, so move all other tags such as opening hours to the area instead.

At this point, you have a perfectly valid representation of the mall, so you 
can stop here if you want. But if you're interested in adding more details, 
there's a lot of possibilities: Add indoor=room or indoor=area tags to the shop 
areas (depending on whether they're fully enclosed with walls or not), and add 
walls (indoor=wall), corridors (indoor=corridor), doors, elevators, staircases 
and so on.

Yours,
Tobias
