Speaking as someone who is routinely on the data consumer side of things,
the answer is simple, but not easy -- whatever way becomes popular is what
data consumers will parse.  Splitting a string by a delimiter is not
difficult logic, though I agree that it tends to be rare for data consumers
to handle semi-colon separated values.
