I'm not sure if there's a *policy* answer, but I would say that my opinion is that a pipe is a better separator than a comma for two reasons: 1) Commas have a left-affinity (which pipes don't) and 2) Commas expect a following space (whereas you can do pipes with or without as long as you make the same choice on both sides). Therefore, for this category of separator, I think pipes would be less jarring to readers -- at least English readers. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
