http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4320 Loosen requirements on variable names with formal names ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-10-22 09:35 ------- Is there some compelling reason not to? I don't really see any reason against it. I would understand if there were some reason to limit the user's choice of characters in an identifier. Certainly there is in the normal notation, but there is no reason in the formal notation. My identifiers already use the . notation from their current implementation (which is a simple tag sustitution where I have a character to start and end a tag). Given a choice between changing the rest of the app to conform to arbitrary limitations imposed by the template framework and allowing the writer of the template to conform to the application (without having the template writer changing code), I think the latter is definitely the better choice. I don't see anything confusing about allowing more freedom when the variables when they are clearly delimited using the formal notation. So no, it is not a requirement and I will end up changing the app to conform to these limitations, but don't see any reason why I should have to.
