+1.
Having users sweat of comma placement in this day and age is pretty stupid. I can understand why we wouldn't want to break backwards compatibility, but I think it does us and our users a disservice to dismiss the issue.
(BTW, I use a "comma first" formatting standard, so this doesn't actually effect me much, but I still find the original complaint very valid.)
