<p>amenity=hotel;pub makes perfect sense to me as well. One of OSM's basic rules is "one real-world object maps to one OSM object". There are plenty of pubs which are also hotels, and hotels which also have/are pubs.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">OSMs data model should be flexible enough to evolve. Currently "multivalued tags" are not addressed within the data model so various communities are inventing their own solution. I firmly believe that the maintenance of the data model (I don't mean the tagging model here!) should be managed centrally. Changes would be well thought out, discussed with data/information architects, communicated in a timely fashion to stakeholders (both on the mapping side and on the data consumer side) and supported by updates to tooling.</span></p>
<p>But I realise I am pretty much alone in this, and that my dream of some way of maintaining some kind of structure and order in the data is not going to happen.</p>

<pre>Only in a very academical way.
It would force an additional processing step onto every data consumer and as
you can read in Jochens result, in practice it is not evaluated at all. It's
just using randomly invented tags which nobody recognizes.
