 In which case the list delimiter needs to be ": " or ", " where
 the delimiter is a multi-byte sequence.
 
 This may also be important for foreign language and double-byte
 character lists.
 
 James had a good answer for why we should stick with just the 
 simple space for now (something to do with compatiblity with schema?),
 but I would definately jump at the dynamic delimiter myself if this 
 looks tenable, as there are many cases.
 
 Ah, now I remember - James did not like the fact that avoiding spaces
 meant that now ( Fred Smith, David Webber, John Jones) are allowed.
 
 Hmmmm, we could still make the list values conform to TOKEN rules
 to avoid this problem......
