When you need to type in "K9DCI   A" to designate an object.  How hard do you 
have to think about the number of spaces that go between?  Remembering 9 chars 
in object names, and counting the number of chars is a deterrent to quick and 
effective communications.  I'm not sure I like spaces in the middle at all.
