Did you ever had a client wanting you to program a Notes form with radio
buttons, one (or more) of which MUST contain a comma? I had. And of course,
Notes splashed me this message telling me that commas were forbidden in keyword
fields... So what?

If your field should only be displayed on the Web, there's a not-so-nice way to
do it. Instead of the comma, include this code: [<!-- -->,<!-- -->]

The [< ... >] tells Domino to directly use the enclosed HTML code.
In order that the HTML code stays valid, and does not influence further
rendering, I used the less-than and greater-than characters as part of HTML
comment tags.
And the whole thing resides in HTML-encoding of the comma character: ,

Code

In the value list of the keyword field, I have something like that:

First case | 1
Second[<!-- -->,<!-- -->] Third and Fourth cases | 234
Fifth case | 5

And this renders on the web as follows:

( ) First case
( ) Second, Third and Fourth cases
( ) Fifth case
