We have many subclasses of LocalBusiness (FinancialService, 
InternetCafe, TravelAgency, DryCleaningOrLaundry, etc.). I could imagine 
many more (TargetPractice, WindowInsulation, BeerTapCleaning, etc.).

Rather than create a separate itemtype for every business imaginable, 
perhaps we can add a property called "service" to LocalBusiness (or 
perhaps Organization), and have its expected type to be Service. Then a 
beer tap cleaning business would not need its own subclass of 
LocalBusiness; it would just mark up the service it offers using the 
Service schema.
