Where are you getting the "Fix my address", and which info file would you
like to augment?  The default mkgmap style does translate shop=organic,
but the menu entry is called something else.  Some day I should document
it better, at http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/ or at a more appropriate
place.

For what it is worth, I have been defining name, name:fi, name:sv, ref, url,
addr:* on bus stops along my bicycle or bus rides.  Often I have not assigned
addr:housenumber or addr:postcode, but addr:street, addr:city, addr:country
are easy.  I have also assigned url pointing to the municipality's web site
(I think you would call it Verkehrsverein in Germany) where one can see which
lines are passing the bus stop and when.

Best regards,
