Full stops, and end-of-list delimiters.

While writing a use case for a new sandbox project, I came up with two more ideas related to the way multiple-values are presented.

1. A 'list terminator'. I don't know what the proper term for this would be.
Example: Full stop at the end of the list.
Favourite animals: Lions, tigers, hyenas.

2. A different delimiter at the penultimate and final items.
Favourite animals: Lions, tigers and hyenas.

These are probably a bit biased towards English, so it might be worth finding out if there is any formal terminology for these things.
