In Bug 27498, the new serialization method "adaptive" was introduced. The
current working draft says that

  Each item in the supplied sequence is serialized individually as follows,
  with an occurrence of the chosen item-separator between successive items.

However, the item-separator can be absent, so need to clarify what is going to
happen in that case. I would propose to use 
 (newline) as fallback
separator, as this is the character that's usually bound to the item-separator
parameter, in particular when using "command line or other "ad-hoc"
interfaces", as motivated by mkay in Bug 27498.
