Hi Mark,

glad to know that "fixed" your issue.

Sergiu & al: since we changed the creation form to remove the need for
JS for the form to work we didn't add a new way to filter invalid
characters prior to creating the URL called to create the new
document. I added some "cleaning" code to do this for the FAQ example
but it would be much better if we had a standard velocity method to
perform that cleaning prior to page creation.

Is there anything we could use to do that?
