Is this semicolon separation standardized? I've seen it on a few tags,
but don't recall seeing it explicitly mentioned anywhere.

I agree with Craig, BTW, that these stands are complex to put inside a
relation, that they're more "nodal".

Personally, Alex, I'd do what Craig suggests with them next to one
another, and it's what I'm doing for those features.
