So why not tag things objectively instead of discussing what things are called in different countries? shop=prescription_only_medicines;self_medication;pharmacy_only_medicines;household_cleaning Doing it this way would of course require support for multi-valued keys (semicolons!) which many people are allergic to; hence the current discussion with loads of people saying "round here it's called this" and "near me they also sell that" which illustrates the diversity which OSM has to accommodate but doesn't get us nearer convergence. //colin On 2015-11-02 10:13, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > sent from a phone > >> Am 01.11.2015 um 13:01 schrieb Colin Smale <[email protected]>: >> >> Is a pharmacy not the same as shop=chemist with dispensing=yes? > > isn't a chemist the same as a drug store?
