Hi

heritage:operator=Historic England;Cadw mult-value style is certainly 
documented. However I have a personal preference for single value tags, 
I think they are easier to work with. I also have my doubts about 
ability of searchers and renderers working effectively with multi-value 
tags, some may call that tagging for the renderer - I prefer designing 
for use.

Any other thoughts on multi-value tags in this context or which way to go?
