Sigh. Yes, it means an embedded comma; only the string name parser
(FcNameParse) splits things at punctuation. This is useful for '-' where
<string>sans-serif</string> means the sans-serif family and not the sans
family at size 'serif'.
If you want to check for any of a list, you can have multiple values in the
<test> case:
<test name="family" qual=any>
<string>times</string>
<string>courier</string>
</test>
That will look for either 'times' or 'courier'.
Or, you can use:
<test name="lang" qual=all>
<string>en</string>
<string>de</string>
</test>
to check for both en and de.
I'd prefer to not emit warnings for reasonable syntax; I'm not sure how
one would rewrite the values to avoid the warnings which seems pretty
harsh.
