Complicated, yes.
You cannot avoid complexity if you want to cover all cases.
You could instead invent a language to put in the value in whole.
Or you can decide to not be able to cover complex opening hours.
A linked list at least leaves the option to define simple opening hours in a
slim format instead of using the complicated scheme, without a syntactic effort
in the OSM db.
If it were only for an online service, the solution could be hidden from the
apps. But OSM isn't an online service.
pity (?)
