I was too lazy to come up with another field like maybe "ZIP-code" ... mea culpa. The intranet app I wrote back then was one for password resetting for the 10k+ users of our services inside our company. The "name" I'm referring to, was actually our normalized, standardized and unique employee-id inside our company. It actually only allowed /[a-z]/i (IIRC) and no space and is modelled roughly after "given-name"."family-name" But some of my colleagues allowed users to choose other usernames in our applications, but that's another story. I never wrote an app requesting users to register with their "real name". Anyway you two are right and I was wrong. > If in doubt, refer to the spec. I did. :) FWIW: I recently managed to skip a letter in my own family name on a flight ticket I booked online and panicked. Was no problem at all, turned out that airlines are allowed to accept up to 3 deviations. I think this is related to the article you and your mother° cited.
Cheers Rolf °) ;-P
