I like that idea, Dave.  Serves several purposes handily.  
 
On this list there are proponents of [--?--] instead of Unknown 
or a blank space.  Would anyone care to comment on the
pros and cons of Dave's method vs. [--?--]  I am about to undo 
all my [--?--]'s and adopt Dave's underlines. -- Alice

I prefer to use 6 underlines for the missing name(s).  It cannot be  
confused with anything else, clearly shows that the name is missing,  
works nicely on web pages, and leaves an underlined gap in reports 
where  the correct name could be written-in.
 
Cheers, -- Dave N.
