[aprssig] spaces in object names

[Steve Dimse]

Pete must be scared that my argument that allowing two objects with  
visually indistinguishable labels will harm APRS's tactical utility  
will be persuasive, so he resorts to personal attacks. Please Pete,  
can we keep this on a higher level?

I do not like the idea of collapsing spaces, but for the utility of of  
APRS you have to have each object be unique. It is much cleaner to not  
allow spaces. If you are going to allow spaces and you let "RESCUE 1"  
and "RESCUE  1" be two different objects, you will have problems.
