The APP-NAME field definition in RCF 5424 header says that "[i]t is a string without further semantics", and the ABNF definition of the field is 1*48PRINTUSASCII, which to my reading indicates that the space character is allowed. The same is true for the field PROCID, which follows APP-NAME: space characters seem to be allowed. How can this be allowed, if the values within the header are delimited by spaces. It seems like the two value sets for APP-NAME and PROCID would be indistinguishable:
++MESSAGE A++ APP-NAME: "cat dog" PROCID: "rabbit" ++MESSAGE B++ APP-NAME: "cat" PROCID: "dog rabbit" Thanks for your consideration, James Remeika
