definition of "strings"

[Joon Radley]

Hi Martin,

You changes does not enhance the format nor does it fix a bug. If you feel
the burning need to modify the format just define the content of the comma
separated field to exclude things like comma, bell and line feed. 

Please note that making changes to a format just for the sake of making
changes does not make a lot of sense. This change will add no value, but you
will have to migrate every Kolab-XML object on every server, which entails a
huge cost.

Best Regards
