Because going by what you quoted about tokens and separators, aren't both of them invalid? And if not, why not?

BTW, I really don't mind whether we use `"codename" (platform)' or `(codename, platform)'. --=20 |---------------------| | Te audire no possum. | | Musa sapientum fixa est in aure. | |-------------------------------------| --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Eicq - The XEmacs ICQ Client iEYEABECAAYFAkHiSNcACgkQHSfbS6lLMANwFwCguibLWh23eiYNy6IQmQtSA/3B cjoAoLD4TeuiOmE52NkwTQVDmGaGsC5d =NXWg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
