Well, for practical reasons I would prefer to have some separator between the legs. (Then I can just use the JavaScript split method to split the move in the parts between the hyphens, while otherwise this should be judged by the case of every individual letter.) I think that once you allow the brackets, allowing other non-alphabetic characters as well is no longer a problem.

In that case, perhaps it would be good to have two different separators to distinguish between optional and required continuations. For example, the griffon could be F&fR, and the mao W+fF (or whatever other symbols would be preferable)
