Of course, you must include the dependencies and keep in mind that > religion=religion1 > denomination=d1 Simply because ifthe article I mentioned <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semicolon> says that ";" is problematic because it's not supported, it will certainly say that that two paired lines are even less supported, that's all. > (not all religions have denominations necessarily). And so we must be sure that =d1;;d3 is what to use, because that article makes a very unclear specification regarding ";;" as an escape character ans is even unsure about ";" as the separator.
In summary, if "this=shop that=shop" or > amenity=library > library:stock:books=yes > library:stock:newspapers=yes > library:stock:recorded_music=yes have so little consenting echo, ";" is the only alternative option to go. And so, the question is: do we wait for a welcoming, correct and precise specification of ";" or do we as often go ahead without one, come what may. I pointed out that the article conflicts with the "tagging for the renderer" nagger. "Separate things out into separate nodes/ways to allow them to be tagged separately with normal tags" conflicts with the "don't tag things that do not exist" nagger too. The important point with tagging is being consumable. Cheers, André.
