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.
<tp>
RFC5424 says to me
" SP = %d32
PRINTUSASCII = %d33-126
"
which says to me that the SP[ace character] is not allowed.
Not sure why we have different readings.

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
