6933879 allowed a minimal additional set of non-alphanumeric characters. 8071458 was filed to examine the potential specification implications that arose during the review of 6933879. Before any attempt is made to add further non-alphanumeric characters, the specification needs to be examined to see if it makes sense to define the allowable set of characters, or other side-effects of doing so.
