>Why does DigiKam use differnt characters?

Interroperability :

digiKam:TagsList -> internal uses, so we do do what we want.
MicrosoftPhoto:LastKeywordXM -> to work with M$ tools.
lr:hierarchicalSubject -> Light Room compatibility.

etc. These namespaces are not standardized in XMP definitions. Each program can
write data in private format, but of course using XMP containers/rules.

The only section standardized in XMP are Exif, Iptc, Tiff, etc...

>Which characters are used as separator when all tags of a file are read?

The characters which is mostly used by the program generating data. It
evaluated by reverse engineering, as these data are not standardized.

The way that Xnview can customize the separator is a error which make a mess in
metadata. It's already difficult to have an homogeneous contents everywhere, no
need to customize extra format for tags...
