we "use" semicolons in cases where 2 values have to be assigned to one key, but it is not beeing evaluated AFAIK, at least not by "mayor" applications. That's why we try to solve issues with two values in a different way: amenity=bank amenity=atm instead of amenity=bank;atm we use amenity=bank atm=yes I would not recommend to design a proposal where it is predictable that multiple values to one key will occur in this way. I was told that it is unlikely that multiple values will be taken into account because this is too cost intensive to calculate. >From a non-programmer's point of view I would think that one could do a preprocessing parsing all values before end-using them hence duplicating/multiplicating the nodes into single k/v-pairs at the same coordinates, but this is probably exactly the thing that is expensive. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
