Probably led by what users are already doing, and probably because renderers produce natural-looking results for places where commas are conventional. This could be considered tagging-for-the-renderer, if it weren't already an established micro-convention. I agree with you it's out of step with convention for other tags. > I propose to deprecate "comma" and use "semi-colon" instead to harmonize > our data structure and allow QA software to find problematic values. > > What do you think ? I don't mind. I'm happy with your proposal, if there's enough support for it. To prevent the tagging-for-the-renderer, it would help if the main styles would automatically convert "1;3" to "1, 3" when rendering - I'd be surprised if they already do that, but it would help your proposal actually happen!
