While this is a tiny fraction these objects are a bit problematic to us when we verify that the ?org-name:? matches the name of the organisation that we allocated or assigned resources to in our records. We also believe that this is highly confusing to users and tools parsing these objects.<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1511190009160_138478"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1511190009160_138482">While currently not an issue, you should include other non-spaces<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1511190009160_138476">whitespace (i.e. Tabs & NULL-Bytes) in your blacklist.<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1511190009160_138470"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1511190009160_138472">Regards, Alex<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1511190009160_138474"><br></div><div dir="ltr">-- <br></div><div dir="ltr">velia.net Internetdienste GmbH * Hessen-Homburg-Platz 1 * D-63452 Hanau<br></div><div dir="ltr">Geschäftsführer: Franz G.
