The separator "/" is only recommended when convention B is an extension
of convention A.  If A and B are independent extensions, the documented
recommendation in the User's Guide was use of a space or comma
separator, but I agree with Jonathan that it would be better to use only
a space separator to be consistent with other lists in attributes.
