[Tagging] tracktype=*;*;*

[Dave Swarthout]

I've occasionally seen mappers do this sort of thing intentionally. They
may know (or guess) that a particular way has more than one tracktype so
they simply add other values and separate them with a semicolon.

In such cases, if one cannot determine what the tracktype actually is, it
might be better to simply delete the entire tag. Unless you want to create
a changeset comment or contact the original mapper some other way.
