I'm adding a business that is primarily for surfing and also has some skateboard accessories. Can I use multiple tags to designate this?

"shop=surf;skate"

Would that work? On the OSM wiki it says under cuisine you can use multiple tags but I don't see anything saying if it's proper to do that with a key for shop.

Why do you avoid stacking primary tags?

Wiki also says this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semi-colon_value_separator#When_NOT_to_use

Ah, that's it! That looks to be the de-facto standard. Thank you very much
