Your engine has a strong accent on user friendliness considering how powerful it is but it still requires you to be a bit "tech savvy" here and there. I somehow stumbled upon a few prompt doing "name convention control" and slipped through as soon I removed all spaces, symbols but somehow "," went through, I didn't give it further thinking as for me, I'm not bothered by them being encoded in a funny way as imho people don't really exchange url so much anymore. It's either "share" or bit.ly or ... So I ended up "lowering" my tech reflexes... I'll be more careful then, not a big deal.
I do agree with you, and I'm not saying it's your fault. You are right, X3 DOES require that one is (or becomes) somewhat updated with certain modern web design terms. I don't really see any other way to offer X3 as a flexible modern html5 website with advanced settings that many users are expecting.
I didn't even give comma any additional thoughts before I read your post, when it occurred to me that it should
probably be avoided. It is unfortunate that it crashes with separation of links in the protect tab ... I could probably add a fix for that in next release, although ultimately it would be better to avoid characters which can easily break "array" functionality.
In regards to "creating folders" in X3, I have been contemplating on turning the tables: Instead of typing a folder name with strict character limitations, you would simply type TITLE (which is more natural for an average user), and X3 would automatically create the "simplified" folder name URL, which
can be edited by advanced users. Anyway, another discussion for another day.

Another point worth mentioning though, I was satisfied with not entering title, descriptions as my legacy is long enough that I can't see myself go an type them all. And I just disabled description display :-)... you get it, I'm terribly lazy.
I'll mass rename so I'd say skip the fix in the protect section but tighten the folder naming proofing in the panel.
Got it! Thanks.
