On the merits of having the user enter : (colon) between modifiers versus entering space between modifiers.

If we use space, then x12 can still use the existing x12clean routine, and then replaces the spaces with : after cleaning.

Also, I think hitting space is easier for the end user than colon, since you have to hit shift, and the key is smaller. I could see a lot of mistakes being made where semi-colon is accidentally entered instead of colon
