I know some data users just use the first part, before the semicolon, and ignore the rest.

The idea of creating five separate route relations for a single named path just because it is designated for five transport modes (walking, cycling, inline skating, horse riding, and skiing in the winter), feels wrong and in violation of the "one feature, one OSM element" principle.  How many other data consumers are there that use route relations but don't handle semi-colon delimited values, though?  Clearly a map that only shows route=bicycle is going to miss out on route=foot;bicycle, route=bicycle;horse;ski, etc.  How can we get more data consumers to parse semi-colon delimited values in the route and network tags?
