[aprssig] spaces in object names

[Gregg Wonderly]

On an APRS display with proportional fonts, I believe Steve is saying that "K4HG 
A" and K4HG  A" are likely to be indistinguishable for many people.  I am not 
sure that this deserves such a heated battle unless there really is a good 
reason why a ' ' character is must have separator compared to some other 
delimiter such as '-'.

As a similar example, URLs and domain names do not have spaces in them for 
similar reasons to Steve's suggestion that spaces are difficult and more often 
impossible to distinguish as separate characters when placed together in 
quantities of two or more.

e.g. we could all register the domain names "my home.com" with multiple spaces, 
and have a hard time trying to figure out which one of all the possible 
instances someone was actually referring to.

Spaces do not provide nearly the same information as characters do, except when 
separating words.  But when all of the characters provide definitive difference 
in meaning, like in call signs, spaces don't really matter, and '-' seems like a 
fine separator between call signs and 'station' instance references.
