I can add the list of alternatives to all set and add commands:

   add display_name = '${name}' | 'tertiary';

Is that what you want?  I think that would be useful elsewhere anyway.

Currently you can do this, which I think does what you want but more 
verbose:

  highway=tertiary {
   add display_name = '${name}';
   add display_name = 'tertiary'; } [0x04 ... ]

In other cases that wouldn't work, for example if display_name was
already set, but you wanted to append to it for example.

There is also the issue that if there is a NET section a road can have 
up to four names, which cannot be expressed in the style file currently.
