How would you then avoid "multivalues" ? For example for brand=* https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:brand
If a shop sells several brands (Honda;Yamaha;Suzuki;BMW;KTM), how would you tag this ? In the clothes example, we could certainly split the characteristics up in clothes:for=men/women/children clothes:material=fur/leather/fabric/denim clothes:type=fashion/sports/work/wedding But there might still be multiple values for each, which clearly mean a listing to me if separated by semicolon.
