apparently, of regional taste.  in Morocco they don't separate 
(different alphabets), also the Canale di Sicilia has no separator 
Italian-Arabic, in Slovenia they use '/', in Südtirol-Alto Adige they 
use '-'.  OSM says '/', and suggests ordering alphabetically.  I've 
thrown two edits into the map, Gulf of Trieste and Gulf of Venezia, and 
explained why I put Italian first in the changeset comment.  I would 
like locals from Ex-Yugoslavia to review, and decide if they feel 
comfortable with that, or if they insist in the alphabetic ordering, if 
Croatian insist in having their language appear also in the Gulf of 
Trieste, if we should consider Slovenia as bordering with the Gulf of 
Venezia.  I would say it's important to hear locals.
