Tag to describe absence of windows in shop or amenity?

Is there a tag to specify whether an amenity or a shop has see through windows on the wall facing the street?
I was imagining something like

windows=yes
windows=covered
windows=no

Can this information belong to OSM?
I would find useful when deciding to go or no to a given place.

I think this tag is meant to assist 3D renderers. There was some discussion of it on the StreetsGL thread. However I don’t see why it couldn’t be used for this purpose too.
