2) What should the separators be? Could there be a publication like
"tl;dr" or "Coder::Music"? Something readable yet not likely to be found
naturally is nice.
There are only two good choices:
a) any separators, but with the possibility to escape them with \
b) unprintable characters (from the 0x01-0x1F ASCII range), for
example 0x1E (Record Separator), 0x1D (Group Separator) or 0x1F (Unit
Separator)
You just need to pick one seperator value, I would go for ':' as it is
commonly understood, and then allow it to be escaped with \ for when its
needed in the text itself
Also if things start getting very complex proposed coverart field at
http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisComment shows how you can store
just about anything in a Vorbis Comment. Define a structured object and
then base64 encode it, this method would let you an existing ID3
structure in the VorbisComment.
