-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In the context of groupchat rooms, most applications show a room roster of the participants. One way to spoof nicknames is to simply add one or more space characters at the end, because the spaces don't show up in the interface (thus "stpeter", "stpeter " with one space at the end, and "stpeter " with two spaces at the end would all appear to be the same person). This seems like an obvious hole that we can plug by disallowing trailing (and perhaps leading) spaces in nicknames. I'll forward this message to the SIMPLE WG and XMPP WG for their feedback, and also raise this issue during the PRECIS WG session next week.
