How about a semicolon as the delimiter? Since we're discussing addresses, I
suspect that a semicolon would be semi-uncommon in the data, when compared to
the semi-common comma [heehee].
If you left the templates as is, with the data input on separate lines - then
the implementation would not require any changes by the users on the submission
side, only on the parsing side. Ergo, no training people away from using a
comma in the fields or having to script around places where its actually USEFUL
like "Street Address, Suite Number" [or accidental, as you point out].
