The interesting bit in rfc3986:
Aside from dot-segments in hierarchical paths, a path segment is considered opaque by the generic syntax. URI
producingapplications often use the reserved characters allowed in a segment to delimit scheme-specific or
dereference-handler-specificsubcomponents. For example, the semicolon (";") and equals ("=") reserved characters are
oftenused to delimit parameters and parameter values applicable to that segment. The comma (",") reserved character
isoften used for similar purposes. For example, one URI producer might use a segment such as "name;v=1.1" to
indicatea reference to version 1.1 of "name", whereas another might use a segment such as "name,1.1" to indicate the
same. Parameter types may be defined by scheme-specific semantics, but in most cases the syntax of a parameter is
specificto the implementation of the URI's dereferencing algorithm.
So not being able to distinguish commas in names and separators is
clearly a bug.
