I'll open soon a thread about inaccuracies between
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like#Syntactic_conventions_for_new_values
Properties can have a large number of possible values

and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don't_over-use_semi-colon_separated_values
poorly supported by data consumers for top-level tags

and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semi-colon_value_separator
On important "top-level" tags that define what an element is avoid ; 
separated values *whenever possible* (when it'sn't possible ?)
Don't use them in your mapping, and don't propose them on the wiki if 
there are better ways of representing things (what's a better ways that 
doesn't conflict with the previous rule "Properties can have a large 
number of possible values" = key=yes/no value aren't a propertie, it's 
the value for another key
