Hi Javbw, so you suggest only a "duty_free=" key with the values "yes|no|designated"?
I like your idea of having only one key "duty_free" but I would choose
different values. The tags "duty_free=yes" vs. "=designated" might be
confusing.
My idea:
duty_free=yes
E.g. Shop in international zones (like airports).
duty_free=refund
Normal shops offering tax refund for foreign customers.
duty_free=no
No tax-refund or tax-free shopping. Default value I guess?
I'll write a proposal for this if there's no strong disagreement here.
Greetings,
Hauke
