Comment 10 for bug 1882520

record(ai, "a b") {}

record(ai, "x.y") {}

Both result in records being created. "a b" is even accessible through CA.
"x.y" isn't. Neither is linkable.

"legal record name" reads to me like a sign over the barn door. "no equine exit"

Still, maybe this is the time to finally get serious about defining what a valid record name is.
