Agreed.  I'd also remind everyone of the basic network programming tenet:
"Be conservative in what you send, liberal with what you accept."

I am absolutely against removing leading spaces or collapsing spaces in
objects received by a station.  I think modifying the original sender's
object names is a very dangerous thing to do indeed.  As for software
allowing these things to be sent, that I don't care about either way - so
long as we don't modify what gets sent.  Remember MIC-E translation?
