Is that a common interperation of minhag hamaqom -- that there be
a common practice in all things? I understood minhag hamaqom to
be designated practive by practice.

On the topic of tefillin on ch"m, there is enough consensus in EY
not to wear tham, that for this one topic there is a minhag hamaqom.

For other things? Give it time. How long did it take Jews from Provence,
Italy and elsewhere to congeal into a single minhag Ashkenaz?
