Yup

Yes. I tried the various other combinations, and while nothing really
looked _bad_, comma-space-space seemed the best.
The reason, I think, is that it emphasizes the fact that what's being
displayed is a list of separate entries -- the comma basically suggests
`list', and the wide whitespace suggests `separate'. Using just
comma-space makes the menu look like a list of _words_ (an effect which
obviously gets worse if any label actually contains multiple words), and
using just space-space looks somehow not list-like enough.
So I think comma-space-space is the best, but that space-space is
better than comma-space.

I don't like it, since it makes it harder to quickly identify which is
the key and which is the label.

I'll look at it.
