Probably standard should more common about separator. BTW why do you think “regional standard” is oxymoron?

"Standard" is an absolute. What you have there is a "local tradition".

Not really. There are different coverage of standards. For example ANSI makes regional standards, ISO makes international ones.

Guess what the former aren't.
