When I wrote the adaptive logging feature, I wasn't concerning myself with parsability of the log lines because they are emitted by various and sundry plugins (which each log different things). If you really want to make the line parseable, you probably want to quote the terms (i.e. quote and comma delimited).
This is a complex issue, and certainly one that those of us who have dealt with apache logging have covered in the past.
If we want logging to be parse-able by anything, the perhaps we should consider the option of outputting key/value pairs, probably separated by equals signs.
That's kind of horrible for anyone adding in ad-hoc debugging though. :-/
