What is the convention for when there are two (or more) authors on a project, collaborating form different institutions, and they insist that no one is the "primary" author? Like beezerfarmer-PTXDOC? Concatenate names in alphabetical order?

This is a real situation for a project I was about to add to the catalog.

I think alphabetical is good for order. Unfair to the Zinzers of the world, but easy and "neutral" to implement.

Are we sure about the dash? A dash separates name and project here, so if dashes can also separate names, and we ever want to do automatic parsing, it will be a complication to remember and implement.

Separate with an &? (Kidding!)
