Comment:

 I agree that this is a missing feature that would be nice to have but it
 is very unlikely that it is ever going to happen. The comma as separator
 of address parts is a very fundamental assumption in Nominatim's design. I
 don't know of any way to change that which would not result in a very
 hefty performance penalty. And that is simply not worth paying for the
 rare cases where the comma is part of a name.

 So, I'm sorry to say that I have to close this as a 'won't fix' but
 anything else would be unrealistic.
