URLs are standardized in multiple RFCs. Depending on the RFC, a semicolon can either be a valid part of a URL or merely a delimiter between URLs. Mappers using different platforms will encode the semicolon or not depending on their editor and the browser they prefer: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/6407#issuecomment-3324004178. Based on my feedback in https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/11438#discussion_r2373393551, iD has a rule that tries to validate each semicolon-delimited URL individually, then falls back to validating the whole tag as a whole. We need to decide whether the same order of precedence is appropriate for linkification.
