Take a look at the lanes tagging business. They solved basically the same problem there by always putting the data in the same sequence.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes [3] If any of the values actually need multiple values themselves, you can simulate a 2D matrix by using two different delimiters. The lanes tagging scheme does this as well. One has to wonder whether your examples really reference the same POI. Maybe within the same building, but if the opening hours, phone number etc are different, it is starting to feel like two independent enterprises in a common building. Any takers for JSON-valued tags? Colin On 2013-09-29 21:36, NopMap wrote: > Thinking about it again, just using semicolons does not help to solve the > problem at all.
