CLJ-1100 "Reader literals cannot contain periods" has a patch that will allow tags to have periods. It does not address the issue of allowing a space after the record type for record literals.
My patch for CLJ-1100 would also allow *default-readers* to override a defrecord definition. That's wasn't explicitly the intention, but it fell out of the implementation. If people don't like letting *default-readers* dominate records, please comment in the bug. I think it's acceptable in order to support the desired periods in tags, but it might be good to have some other people take a look. Regarding the original issue for this thread, it's interesting to note that the code for the record reader has a commented out section that would have allowed whitespace for the record literals.
