I seem to vaguely recall there perhaps being a problem with things
like
From: "Foo, Bar" <foo@zot.com>, zot@foo.com
being tokenized into three email addresses
Foo
Bar <foo@zot.com>
zot@foo.com
But on the other hand, if there's anything that broken out there, you'd
think that adding a backslash before the comma wouldn't help, either.

Sure, go ahead. If there's any interoperability problems here, we'll
find out. But I think it's pretty unlikely.
