No need to worry.  Commas have been used as separators
throughout unix history.  Examples: group(4), terminfo(4).

I tend to associate colons with different *fields* in a line, each with 
a different meaning.

Look for instance at group(4) where different fields of a record are
separated by colons, and the actual list of users held together with commas.

Cheers,

Henk
