I may have gotten semicolon and comma around backwards in this case. I
don't have Richardson & Ruby nearby, so I did a quick websearch before
posting to find out which they recommended. Found one that was the above
and then, just after hitting "SEND", found a Jon Udell review that said
the opposite. In any case, the broader point is correct and you can
either follow the R&R recommendation (whatever it might happen to be) or
not.
