Let $X$ be a topological space. Assume that for all $x_1,x_2 \in X$ there exist open neighbourhoods $U_i$ of $x_i$ such that $U_1 \cap U_2 = \emptyset$. Such a space, as we all know, is called Hausdorff. What would we call a space, and which separation axioms would the space satisfy, if $\overline{U_1} \cap \overline{U_2} = \emptyset$ for all $x_i \in X$?
Which separation axiom?

Such a space is known as $T_{2\frac{1}{2}}$ or Urysohn according to Wikipedia.
