I used to think that these were requirements for all features. but many values of shop=, building=, office= and even some types of barriers= have been added without discussion when they are still rarely used. My thought was that we could clarify that certain types of new features can be added to the Map Features pages without meeting all those characteristics (shops, offices) but that other types shouldn't be added without discussion. If you want to be strict about those standards above, there are several dozen tags that would need to be removed from Map Features. I'm actually ok with that option, but it seems unnecessary for values of keys where the key itself is enough for rendering and general classification.
