I left that one in on propose (and note I didn't classify it as a typo but a change did you miss that or was it creating editing/selective reading on your part ;-) ) as I know someone would pipe up. In this case it was clearly a mistake and not a someone trying to case of a revolution in tagging standards. The types of establishments that were tagged it was clear what they were.
For some there is a presumption that all changes will might/likely do harm rather than changes are done for the good. I think many would editors of this stuff would be happy to discuss if the mechanisms to discuss where realistic (like I said before everyone is commenting negativity on it without having done any mechanical edits and following the process to the letter) otherwise people will just carry on as they are and just do what they want and follow no sensible guidelines.

This is not a typo but is one of the cases where well-meaning mappers iron out the details and prevent new tagging styles from emerging... (IMHO) cheers, Martin
