I assumed that since the "," and "()" are token delimiters they must also
be quoted (escaped).
"Within these constructs, quoting is REQUIRED for CR and "\"
and for the ***character(s) that delimit the token*** (e.g., "(" and
")" for a comment). "
I agree on the wording. I wish the RFC's were just a little more vague.
