Paul, do you see any reasons not to make this change? Could the comma be problematic in some cases? If so, can we try some other character, perhaps?
If we're going to change it, I suggest choosing a character from the POSIX portable file name character set <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap03.html#tag_03_266#tag_03_276>, as this is the most likely to work across a wide variety of POSIXish file systems. So, how about using "." instead of ":"?
More important, how will a new Emacs interoperate with an old one?
