I wasn't aware of | being a special operator for TODO keywords, thanks!

Sadly it causes a bunch of problems: MobileOrg and MobileOrg-NG
doesn't seem to recognize #+TYP_TODO: lines. With this patch applied,
MobileOrg doesn't recognize any TODO keyword and therefore fails to
parse them correctly. Looks like a bug in the MobileOrg projects.
