I was thinking more about  "," or ";" since i see commas used all over in IOC startup code as list member delimiters,  so that as part of a PV name would confuse a lot of things. Also used as delmiter passing variables to MEDM.

I don't think so. Note that the list does neither contain quotes nor
characters like '$', '(', ')', '{', '}', and '#'. But if possible I
would also try to stay away from these characters since there might be
more broken CA clients and tools that do not follow the official
guidelines by the word.

Thanks,

Martin
