[OSM-talk] Who interprets semicolon in tag values?

Thats just another very specialized single-purpose tagging scheme that
cannot be generalized to connecting multiple institutions in one POI. At
least not if you still want casual mappers to be able to decipher such a
thing. The idea of a semicolon-delimited 2D-matrix distributed over multiple
tags for general tagging makes my hair stand on edge. :-)

The original example wasn't mine, but I think it is very common that a pub
has much later opening hours than a restaurant. Having both as part of the
same enterprise is a british speciality if I remember my visits correctly.

And mapping them as separate POIs is the only practical and human readable
way we currently have available, that's the point. :-)

bye, Nop
