             Summary: Enforce character encoding restriction
                 Key: SIS-205
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-205
             Project: Spatial Information Systems
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Referencing
    Affects Versions: 0.5, 0.4
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.6


ISO 19162 requires that we restrict to the following characters in all quoted 
texts except in {{REMARKS}} elements:

{noformat}
A-Z a-z 0-9 _ [ ] ( ) { } < = > . , : ; + - (space) % & ' " * ^ / \ ? | °
{noformat}

They are ASCII codes 32 to 125 inclusive except ! (33), # (35), $ (36), @ (64) 
and ` (96), plus the addition of ° (176). In particular, the specification 
recommends:

* to use (_P_, _L_) as the transliteration of the Greek letters (_phi_, 
_lambda_) in axis abbreviations, or alternatively (_B_, _L_) or (_lat_, _long_),
* to use (_U_) as a replacement for (_theta_) in polar coordinate system,
* to use (_U_,_V_) as replacements for (_phi_, _theta_) in spherical coordinate 
system.

-Those restrictions are currently not enforced in SIS.-
{color:red}Update (May 2015):{color} newly added {{CharEncoding}} class now 
handle some (not all) of those cases.
