I think the best approach would be to cut values of any keys/tags but name and ref (or having "name" or "ref" as part of their key ) at the semicolon for the lines and polygons file.
As for the points file all values with ";" should be seperated and cloned. So for amenity=hotel;restaurant & name=abc create two POI one matching all rules of amenity=restaurant and the second matching all rules amenity=hotel.
Yes, I think that's the correct solution.
Still everyone using semicolons should know that this tagging is potentially complicated and not usable and using semicolons is not good form of tagging.
The problem is that the current OSM API does not allow the same key twice for a point. So there is no other possibility then to use the ";". From what I found out with google, using ";" is more or less the official solution for this.
