Thanks.  I'm actually using taginfo to prepopulate a dropdown form,
but not displaying the frequencies, which I guess I need to do.

I also see things like

amenity=restaurant;bar

which makes sense, but I doubt is "right".

Are there any punctuation restrictions on tags?  In particular, commas
could be problematic for storing a list of tags as a single string.
