Hi,

Yes, spaces are allowed and they are very common in WMS services made with ESRI 
servers.

I think that Geoserver users have had trouble with periods but I am not sure. 
Absolutely comma in a layer name has caused troubles, think about GetMap: 
&layers=fine_idea,of_my_own.


WFS is so common service and folks are publishing layers with both WMS and WFS 
that it might be good to especially mention that name of a featuretype must not 
(according to standard) begin with a number or underscore.


Good test for ourselves would be to test sometimes what Geoserver accepts and 
what kind of escaping is needed

- What we can cascade with WMS?

- What we can cascade with WFS?

Roger that.  How about:

Names must be compatible with their use in OWS service requests and response 
documents. In particular, they must not contain spaces.  For general use, it is 
best if they use only the following characters: upper and lowercase letters, 
numbers, dash, underscore and period.

As far as I know, spaces are also valid (in WMS), you just have to url-encode 
them when making requests

Cheers
Andrea
