Wow. Does the spec allow this? I can't help but think about what we have
in the spec: "nonstandard extensions are not allowed here - you must add
an X-Foo-Exec field if you have nonstandard Exec lines".

I've nothing against supporting this, but this really needs to be
explicitly stated in the spec. From my reading of the spec, only
the keys which are "string(s)" (or regrexp(s), etc.) can use a semicolon
like this.
