Comment:
An alphanumeric + whitespace rule is almost completely
useless.[[BR]][[BR]]
@michaelc: your example of possible use in a 'name' and an 'address' field
seems fine, until you figure out that Matthew O'hare who lives on 23
Saint-Joseph rd. can't seem to get past your validation
criteria.[[BR]][[BR]]
For the infinitesimally small number of times where a multibyte
alphanumeric + whitespace validation rule is actually useful, it does not
merit inclusion into the CakePHP core validation rules.[[BR]][[BR]]
Good frameworks tend to follow the 80/20 rule, and CakePHP is no
exception. This 'feature' would definitely be found in the lower end of
the 20.
