simplelist and non-western languages

[Shaun McCance <shaunm gnome org>]

DocBook has a simplelist element, which has far from simple processing
expectations.  When it has the type="inline" attribute, it's supposed to
be rendered as an inline list.  So this

<simplelist>
  <member>fe</member>
  <member>fi</member>
  <member>fo</member>
  <member>fum</member>
</simplelist>

becomes fe, fi, fo, fum.  Seperating terms with commas is pretty common
to western languages, but I don't know how non-western languages would
want this rendered.  Would it be sufficient to mark the string ", " for
translation, or do translators need more control?
