I would like to propose a best practice for the name attribute used in various bits of the XML vocabulary for Shale dialogs that recommends restricting these to alphanumeric characters (no spaces etc.)
I suppose there's a technical reason for this ... I really like the readability of these if we can keep them and it was why I chose "name" instead of "id' for that attribute in the first place. Craig Commons SCXML v0.5 is accomodating in that it will allow spaces for
state IDs (which is what the name attribute maps to) but there are good reasons why we will shy away from this in some future release be it at the cost of some legibility (driven by changes to that spec draft). I will produce a patch over the weekend such that the usecase application follows this best practice (ofcourse, unless someone has a good reason why we can't do without spaces here). -Rahul
