Using mobi-meta 0.5.9 under Mac OSX ...

If I invoke mobi-meta with a command line like this:

mobi-meta --authors="Lastname, Firstname" <non-DRM File>.mobi

the results written to the metadata author field is:

Lastname; Firstname

i.e., the comma has been changed to a semicolon and an extra space.

Is this a bug or a feature? If it's a feature, how do format the string to get 'Lastname, Firstname' in the author field?

Thanks.
