I think the proposal sort of goes in the right direction, but it's second
guessing too much the administrator.

If I have a GeoServer that serves only WMS, I might not want to have any
restriction on names.

If instead I have WFS enabled, then the workspace and feature type names
should be checked for compatibility.

If I have WCS enabled, and in particular intend to use WCS 2.0, also
coverage names need to be sanitized (they
have to be NCNAME), but if I don't care about it, again, no limitations.

So I believe these checks should be configurable, or at least contextual.
Like maybe a checkbox to have
strict name validation in the respective services, enabled by default in
the newer versions of GeoServer,
that would enable the validator to run if checked, and the associated
service enabled.

The name migration should not be automatic, but again, controlled by the
administrator, which can decided
if she likes what's going on, or decide this would ruin the datadir
existing clients using the service, and
decide to keep on working with invalid names

Cheers
Andrea
