[aprssig] spaces in object names

[Steve Dimse]

Does any system make automated use of the objects being transmitted on  
APRS?

In other words, would changing the object name from "K4HG   A " to  
"K4HG A   " break anything that presently exists (or anything that is  
planned that could not be written just as easily to accept the new  
format?
