Which we're not. There is no "on the ground" rule, guideline, axiom,
suggestion or anything. Can we stop using this non-existent guiding
principle?

Yep, this strategy would definitely break down. Although I do think
"place of worship" is a little bit special.

The 4 options Roy presented all seem somewhat reasonable, but we need
to make this kind of decision once, on a big scale: "OSM now supports
semicolon-separated value lists: developers please take note". Not
just piecemeal for each individual situation where the current
key=value structure is limiting.
