Anyway, it is possible to happen, yes, but if we start to introduce complete tagging schemes for all the mini-minor-might-be-existing cases we soon will have much more chaos in our data.
I agree, that the semicolon wasn't the best solution for diverting multiple values, but it happened to be so. > * If a consumer forgot to implement multivalue names, he'll have > incorrect data in the semicolon case and incomplete data in the suffix > case. Incomplete is usually better than incorrect, but it does depend > on the usecase. consumers (better: developers) should be the ones who use the data correctly, especially in such easy cases. We should not motivate them to work sloddy and its even easier to identify bad data than missing data. >> Furthermore the semicolon is already established >> and has been accepted for such special cases with multiple values. > > So is the suffix, so this isn't a useful argument. it is not really established. It was added to the wiki by bad reasons, it is not used by people who are not trained by iD to do so. It is just a fragment of imports that seems to use this method to show "ok, heres another name, I make a bad tagging to force you change it" not a good reason for having this in the Wiki -- BITTE BESORG DIR EINE NEUE EMAILADRESSE!
