I mean that it seems natural to write, e.g.,
[cite:@doe21 p. 1; @doe99]
instead of
[cite:@doe21 p. 1;@doe99]

OK. Then, we are in a violent agreement. :)

I'm not sure to understand your question. The space is not the
delimiter; the semicolon is.
For now, the whitespaces are significant for the parser, barring the
leading and trailing ones. It seemed useful for export back-end and
citation processor combinations unable to handle punctuation
automatically (e.g., HTML + oc-basic). I can't tell if they should be
ignored instead.

I don't think you need to check affixes when cycling citation
references. You could split at ";", trim, re-order, and re-build the
contents inserting "; " between each reference.
