[talk-au] Multi-value tags

I notice that multi-values can be used with some tags.  For example, a 
road with two names (eg, local name and highway name) can have both 
names listed in the name tag separated by a semi-colon.

Can the same trick be used generally?

The Bicentennial National Trail is primarily a horse route. 
Secondarily, it is a hiking route (as well as a mountain bike route).

In the route relation therefore, I believe it should be tagged as 
route=horse.  At the moment, I've temporarily tagged it as route=hiking 
to get it rendering on http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html while I 
experiment with the osmc:symbol tag.

Is "route=horse;hiking" valid syntax?
