That much I knew... I've had javascript hurl in my lap before because
of spaces (though only in certain browsers, of course).
I suppose part of my answer is going to lie with the script that
process the form and how it treats form field names.
I know I can always just try it and see if it works... my paranoia,
though, is that it'll work for me, but not for Joe Blow or Sally Go
when they log in from other browsers and machines. Tis why I'm hoping
to find what the "standards" are supposed to be, to have something to
go on. Ya know?
