"Dale S. Johnson": # Comment characters in templates

Yup, leading spaces are always ignored.

 * Do you check the attributes for '#' when sent in ?
 * Does this generate a warning ?

Well, if there is a "#" type comment inside an attribute (ie somewhere
inside the value of an attribute) this will generate a syntax error in
most cases. Ie something like:

person:  Marten Terpstra
address: .......
phone:   +31 20 592 5065	# Preferred
phone:   +31 20 592 5064	# Backup

would spefically NOT be allowed and would generate syntax errors for
that attribute. Unless of course the syntax for an attribute allows #
chars (I don't think there are any though).
