That also fine, though for the simple case slightly less readable.

But that's OK since I can easily formulate this in "human-language":

   "@k1, @k2, and @k3 argues =E2=8B=AF" =E2=86=92 "A1 (Y1), A2 (Y2), and A3=
 (Y3) argues"

Whereas I can't easily do

   "Argument (@k1;@k2;@k3)" =E2=86=92  "Argument (A1 Y1; A2 Y2; A3 Y3)"

Perhaps I'm thinking too much in terms of text/parenthesis citations here.
