Big +1 for that. To me, solving it from the root means formalising the use of the semicolon as a value separator, and cracking some hard nuts like how to handle a legitimate semicolon in the data itself and how to handle the quoting/escaping that that will involve. But let's do it once and

So the root problem is how to support multi-valued keys. Using the semicolon puts the solution into the value, using numbered keys puts the solution into the keys. As (AFAIK) both the keys and the values are limited to 255 chars, I can see that being a limitation for value-based solutions.

[Tagging] custom road ref shields

I have a question about creating custom road shields, and I know this ties into -carto - but I think it needs tags to work, so I’ll start here in the tagging list. I was thinking of a method for adding custom badges or shields to roads and generic objects - usually country specific things,

I think having it on the relation is a great idea, especially since adding the tags to all the road segments sounds like an insane amount of tagging . Is this something that we should ask Phil to create a formal proposal page for the tags, so we can start adding symbol key values to relations?
