In Opera we reuse our existing attribute parsers, and commas are not allowed there in all cases. The spec does lack clarity on whether urlescaped characters are allowed and if they should be unescaped before passing it to the sub-parsers, and indeed Opera fails if %20 is used instead of a space, e.g #svgView(preserveAspectRatio(xMinYMin%20slice)). It's not hard to add support for commawsp separation of the values, but in that case we should allow commawsp separation in the attributes too. It's just annoying (and confusing) if the syntax has to be different.
