The "type" field (drop down list) on the generic "shop" preset is generated from taginfo. However, there are also specific shop presets (e.g. "Hardware Store") which are manually added in iD's data files. Then even more specifically there are the brand specific presets which are generated from the name suggestion index.

If all locations are identified by brand, then in future if there is a tagging development or consensus change for that brand, all of the locations can be easily converted because they're explicitly marked. Along those lines, if there is ever discussion which establishes some UK brand tagging consensus on the mailing list here I will more than likely see it and adopt it into the index.

Some resources to help: Perhaps a https://maproulette.org challenge would be a good way to track the progress of this?
