I asked this question over on talk-scotland at openstreetmap.org a couple 
of days ago but have had no answer so perhaps I could ask here?

For those who don't know the issue in Scotland most (but not all) houses 
are sold by solicitors rather than estate agents, although we have those 
too.

Hi folks

I suspect this may be a FAQ hereabout but it's not on the wiki and I did 
look very briefly towards the list archive but pipermail doesn't have 
built in search and my Google Fu wasn't strong enough to get anything 
out that way.

Anyway I'd value some advice. I'm in the middle of getting our town's 
high street shops up to date as it's clearly a while since it was done 
and there's also lots of gaps.

One thing that I'm puzzling over however is estate agent solicitors. Do 
I tag them as:

    office=solicitor
    office=estate_agent
    office=solicitor;estate_agent

I was tempted by the latter but the wiki page on semi-colons

    http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semi-colon_value_separator

seems not to like semi-colons much. You on this list must have come 
across this issue before many times. Was there a consensus? If there is 
I'll add it to the wiki.
