On a few occasions I have found it makes sense (to me at least) to take
that logic one step farther and set the genres by track. For example, on
the Putumayo compilation "Music from the Coffee Lands" some tracks are
"World; Latin" and others are "World; African".

While using multiple tags instead of a delimiter may be the recommended
approach, it's good to remember that there's at least one place where
the multiple tags approach can break down, and that's if you convert to
mp3, eg, for use on a portable device where space is too limited for
lossless. I use Robin Bowes' flac2mp3.pl script to make an mp3 copy of
my library that I can put on a portable player or my laptop. With
multiple genre tags for a track the script just picks one genre tag;
I'm not sure, but I think it chooses the last one listed. With a
delimiter you get the funny-looking-but-more-informative delimited
multiple tags.
