Even w3 seems a little confused about that...

Gives these two examples on the same page:

<-- For speakers of US English -->
<META name="keywords" lang="en-us"
content="vacation, Greece, sunshine">
<-- For speakers of British English -->
<META name="keywords" lang="en"
content="holiday, Greece, sunshine">
<-- For speakers of French -->
<META name="keywords" lang="fr"
content="vacances, Gr&egrave;ce, soleil">

and

<HEAD profile="http://www.acme.com/profiles/core">
<TITLE>How to complete Memorandum cover sheets</TITLE>
<META name="author" content="John Doe">
<META name="copyright" content="&copy; 1997 Acme Corp.">
<META name="keywords" content="corporate,guidelines,cataloging">
<META name="date" content="1994-11-06T08:49:37+00:00">
</HEAD>

What do you figure is the "approved" method, Linkster?

It's been considered a weak tag for a long time, so I don't think people cared all that much, and I've personally seen Yahoo respond with results for rare keywords in the tag using all three possible methods - space only, comma only, and comma space.

But with google's newish use of the metas, it may become more of an issue.
