Hi
currently Names are UTF-8, IMHO we should limit them to [a-zA-Z0-9] at least or maybe just [a-z] furthermore its a little tempting to either use the unused bytes for common syllables or store things in 5-6bit per char or does that syllable table need to be extendible but not storeable too? in which case iam obviously not agreeing
You mean, names of fields in info packets?.. i think not limit them, allow the user to have whatever extra weird fields he wants, there's no big disadvantage in allowing full utf-8... _maybe_ limiting types of fields, but i'm not sure that's a good idea either. - ods15
