What are the chances than to update our data model to support it? Is it 
just a loose expectation (as in a "would be nice") or something more 
concrete?

I also think tools can deal with semicolon-delimited lists just by 
internally converting:

key=value1;value2

to a temporary array:

key[1]=value1
key[2]=value2

and returning to the semicolon mode on the output again. That would 
probably help avoid too much regexping.
