ID Changes real users have desired: 1) New Characters, Top Priority = "_", SGML Declaration amended. 2)* People also asked for (and were discouraged from): the following characters: "=","/", "\","@", "#", ":", "^","<", ">", and "%". 3) Wanted to start with a numeric WITHOUT changing the name start character for all other names. 4) Wanted to allow very LONG IDs, without permitting future programmers to make GIs longer than 8 characters. * Footnote: (I do not advocate we allow all these characters, but naive users have requested them, sometimes with legitimate reasons.) --Debbie ====================================================================== Deborah A.
