I also tend to like the ::-convention, as it is the same separator as
used in various programming languages (Ruby, Perl, C++, etc) and thus
already is in the "separator" slot in my mind.  However, in private mail
David referred to a previous discussion that he said had resulted in a
decision against it.  Is there anybody out there that agree with David
in this?

I'd really ike to document *something* as the canonical form - and that
shouldn't be "patch-aa".  If the consensus is that this should use :: as
a separator, I'm very happy with that - and if it is that it should be
+, I'm more happy with that than with variation :-)

Eivind.
