Hi,
I think the separation sign should be chosen by the render.
Why not adding new tags like:
name:left=Mexico
name:right=USA
this would also enable developers to render the border like this:

I think that "-" is not a good choice because there are some places
that already have the hyphen in their official name, like
Castrop-Rauxel or Dessau-Roßlau for instance.

There is also a common use of "/" to distinguish places (e.g.
Frankfurt/Main, Schwedt/Oder, where Main and Oder are rivers used to
distinguish the cities/towns from others, but maybe we could use the
also common Frankfurt(Main) and Schwedt(Oder) instead, not sure if we
need this at all, I think the official name would be "Frankfurt am
Main" or "Schwedt an der Oder" and the above citations are short
forms
of it).
cheers,
Martin
