Interesting!
I remembered a problem with "trade=*" - it's already been used almost
5000 times to specify the type of trade goods sold at a shop=trade -
see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/trade and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dtrade
Not a 'good tag' as it can only be used with shop=trade.
Much better to have a universal shop tag that can be used with any shop.
The word that most people (non OSM) would use is 'sells'.
Some think OSM should use the word 'vending' as that is what is used for
vending machines.
However I disagree, I would much rather have a word that is in common use
rather than have a word that few would use in relation to a shop.
I have raised this before ... and got nowhere, so it looks to me like each shop
will have it's own unique tag to describe what it supplies.
What a confusing mess that will be.

But trade= is better than generic business= for the workshop of an
individual tradesperson.
by the time craft was introduced, it should probably have been “trade”, IIRR
the craft tag was invented by Germans and intended for tradespeople,
basically it’s a dictionary accident...
(German: Handwerk)
