Like I said in my other post, the wiki is not very clear here, but the problem pointed out there is not the semicolon itself (not only) but the main target is to avoid multiple values when there are better methods to collect them (old_name, loc_name etc. for example) > Because it follows one tag-one value policy I supose.

In the past, there could have been other decissions to mark multiple values. Some may argue that it would have been better to mark the MV on the Key instead on the Value. But that decission has been made: Multiple Values are marked with a semicolon on the Value, Keys should not be marked (unfortunately the iD does...). Even when one may prefer other variants it should be accepted because to have two standards is worse than having one ugly but working standard. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
