How about Sgml instead of comma-delimited? Then we can say it's
industry-standard :)

Uh, what's "Sgml"?

Jasper, who doesn't _really_ know what the hell he's talking about,
but is interested just the same.

Me too!


SGML stands for "Standard Generalized Markup Language" and is sort of the
parent language to HTML (SGML is really a meta-language).

XML stands for "Extensible Markup Language" and is a modern spin-off of SGML
with strong emerging Java and Perl support (as well as other popular
languages).
