on the other hand use of separators on coastlines could push
integration of multiple feature values into the main tools (or maybe
by preprocessing -> for all data consuming applications). I'm not a
programmer but I think it would be very easy to duplicate a node/way
and separate 2 tags which are marked by a ;-separator before
continuing to process the data in a normal way. More complicated (and
zoom-dependant) it would be to generate auto-offsets -> could be done
individually with custom rules for it.
