Ok, I checked that the comma it is a free character not otherwise used
by CXS and then made it an acceptable alternative in the CXS->IPA
conversion and documented it as an alternative.  The main alternative
is currently still " when IPA->CXS conversion is performed.

Since there is no collision, and , is intuitively clear due to its
similarity with IPA, I think there is problem allowing the
alternative.  I found myself using it accidentally, actually.

What do others think?
