In my experience name, name:en, old_name, alt_name, alt_name:ru etc etc
etc were always sufficient. An example where multivalue names are
truly necessary would be interesting.

In case of ref on highways multivalues are necessary and ; separation
is accepted standard (with support among at least some data consumers).

In case of surface tag multivalues are evil and not necessary, despite
initial impressions.

It depends on situation.
