If you're a user who are used to running Outlook (or Notes), for example replaced the Outlook client with Evolution, who are used to using ';' to separate addresses, and Evolution just ignores all addresses after the ';', that would be a usability 'feature'. There are of course ways around this. Evolution could pop up a message saying that you should use ',' or just automagically replace all ';' with a standardized ','. Being nice and informative towards the user is the key issue here, not brutally follow standards.
