My understanding was that since almost nothing actually understands the ; separator that doing it as multiple tags is the preferred system. I think the ; separator is not really understood by nominatim, for example, whereas the multiple tags system is. I think nominatim might work with ; in a sort of "hacky" way since it probably will match on substrings, but it will confuse other parts of the system, not to mention all of the other systems that don't understand ; In any case I don't really want to turn this into a discussion of how multiple values should be handled in general as this has been done before and no one has come to a solution. That is a discussion for a different time and place, this is just about remedying a minor inconsistency in the current tagging. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUDgI3AAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbyogP/1XkuaQGWjRPPkGpF+3mJLyr 5AB/spZgr5pLEAW5b4BMI/+f6czmpDw7g/qdn69N0lC2u/CDgGRf1ZwrJ5XEATXX 3eNLtE7Wa1+WNJqpm1uWiUpNoj2x7wcOyXB5bRIQXN2gLyoxTKWtK3R8TFZ3kF6y OVpLOQfLRumBggcXxL3j/svv6jWnc3b5nsn3kqza/Y8tnP6FT9O81EiZLwBrervp JvIqNm8RGJUqo28E/x5x1PYg9Q1LdQ/bPY4hPjd/zeB4KEOfU5TuQUHJk2nS3dJD pKlF0BH05y2FST0JTFTgQPSGHPUsvxi0PQpm5Y2yx3WliSG7WanGAvz4WS4XVjEm 0KWgB2c8lmtbNZrram1soD2sZh/P1Dv362FhjGwA00zVE7xMoSrbc1geowQsYM1D A8RmljiycI9N1AaDIsfCFSUfrXYw1YMDrDhUEkTDtXU6u44HEqglKOiW8UoGXLO/ jN4/7Wao+c8vatT2pRxKLqNa+Hikgbv3c1oMYSD2pTQCIm9YDAx/1PRexLh+Rcpd Wq95OdE1mjX1eqtDsWLB9VSkM7+5TKSr1Hia/TNIqg1wTRJk7JPaVXCZoylb/q5w WVNWJcGsrdzMrG0hF1RWknJ8d+PSc3b3lm/xzHvF7cQpeUOasTN/TE0Be11+djTi waxThVw1CCe/Jy1YdhXG =SBVF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
