1. In database we store values, not typographic conventions, that's why semicolon to separate multiple values. 2. The data consumer can decide what type of separator she wants to use. It's data presentation part, not data storage. One can decide to show " België - Belgique - Belgien" for example or fall back to name and so on. The same with streets: one may always render "<name fr> - <name nl>" or "<name fr>/<name nl>" or whatever else (like one in bold and the second one in italics). -- "My method is uncertain/ It's a mess but it's working" [F.
