I think that in practice, the commas will cause problems, since Pd interprets a comma as a message separator. In my experience, at least.

Do you have a working example of reading from textfile and doing something with the text with commas in it?

To parse, just use [sel,]
Same for semicolon.
Also works when reading from [textfile]

Cool, could you post an example of parsing commas in Pd? If
its easy to parse the commas from a 'text' object, then that
would solve the tags debate.

I need to add a keyword to pd META for the object
author and the help patch
authors, something like:

AUTHOR Miller Puckette

HELP_PATCH_AUTHOR(S) Dave Sabine, Krzysztof Czaja,
Jonathan Wilkes

(BTW, it's quite easy to parse commas in Pd.)
