I was just trying to type a URL with a comma into the b2g browser URL bar (a data URL, fwiw), but I was unable to, because none of the keyboards offered to me have a comma character. No comma on the default (querty) keyboard. I pressed the "?123" key for numeric keyboard -- still no comma. Then I pressed the "ALT" key, and still no comma. (We do, however, have keys for ₤ ¢ ¥ § ® and © :) I think Comma is more likely to occur in URLs than those characters... so if we're strapped for space, I humbly suggest dropping one of those or another obscure character, rather than dropping the comma character.) Related: kwierso points out in IRC that the space character is missing, too. Spaces are useful if you're going to search from the URL bar, which we nominally support (a magnifying glass appears if you start typing a word instead of a URL)).
