Erick,
I agree with you on backwards compatibility.  I think you should be
able to first check for semicolons and if there are none, then use
commas as the delimiter.  CommaDelimitedList values are usually used
when you are specifying availability zones as a group.  I ran across
it when I was setting up a RDS in my VPC, I had no problem testing my
configuration at the command line because cfn-create-stack uses
semicolon delimited lists.
Where in the code would this change be made?
Matt
