Hello all, I'm new to this mailing list, but would like to contribute where I can. At the moment, I'm unfamiliar with the protocol, so if I commit any serious faux pas, please let me know *smile*.

I would argue that this guideline shouldn't be deprecated, as there are still problems in distinguishing between adjacent links in some assistive technologies such as Home Page Reader. In a graphical browser, it can be difficult to tell where one link ends and another starts if it happens to appear near a line wrap. Punctuation is an obvious technique, but it would be good to include examples of links in a list where non-printable characters would no longer be required, and using CSS in extreme cases where the punctuation is definitely not required on a graphical display and a list isn't appropriate.
