I think you're articulating something about this proposal that bothers me. The thing about the actual separators is that an editor could and should probably display them as they were intended, as data separators. It should be a setting in an editor you control, sort of like how you control tab width and things like that. Just because a glyph is "invisible" doesn't mean it has to actually be invisible. The symbols for the separators are hard to read, like you're pointing out, which means someone would eventually replace them with some other graphical display, in which case you were just as well off with the actual separators themselves. They would have been better off advocating for editor support for actual separator display.
