Group,
Here are a few stupid/nit questions,
1) What do you do with host naming collisions?
2) Is a blank "string" blank equal to a "string"?
3) Is the hostname case sensitive?
4) Since the hostnames are "human readable", would
a backspace within the name make logical sense?
5) Don't some system implement x chars per tab,
then how do we show a consistent hostname?
6) If bell is included, does the system need to create
a sound each time the name is displayed?
7) If the router is localized to a different country, wouldn't
a logical hostname representation be able to support
multi-character and multi-byte foreign languages?
8) Underline support?
Thus, IMO, someone needs to re-write part of this to equal
http(s) URL type representation? or only alphanumeric chars
And specify some sort of left/right printing justification and
a way to deal with non printable chars..
