Question: How to handle comma separated fields where a value contains a comma
Where does this comes from?
A user has brought up a problem in parsing of StoryArc where there is the following string Infinity, Inc. StoryArc naturally can have multiple values that are comma separated and thus, Kavita parses this as 2 story arcs.
But there is nothing in the spec that has guidance in how comma should be encoded when it's not the separator string.

What is the rationale for adding support for this element?
No response
Is the element already handled by any application or tool?
No response
Well comicrack keeps it as separate elements no matter what you do (at least I've never been able to get it to) so any encoding that you implement will not be backwards compatible
The "correct" way to deal with this would be to stop using commas as a separator and put each item in an XML list.
How about just allowing repeat elements?
