You just need to pick one seperator value, I would go for ':' as it is 
commonly understood, and then allow it to be escaped with \ for when its 
needed in the text itself

Also if things start getting very complex  proposed coverart field at 
http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisComment shows how you can store 
just about anything in a Vorbis Comment. Define a structured object and 
then base64 encode it, this method would let you an existing ID3 
structure in the VorbisComment.
