What is allowed in the name of a property
I have a mixin that allows my users to define custom properties. Are there
any characters that are not allowed in the name of a property (i.e. spaces,
semicolons, periods, etc)
I am asking because I have a custom property called "Form Name" which can
have any value. When setting that property on the document and running a
query that should return results based on that property it returns none.
Any help would be appreciated.

Actually I looked back at the servlet I created that inserts the file into
the repository and it does NOT escape the property name (which happens to
contain a space in its name) and just adds the property to the node as is.
But when I query the repository I must escape the property value in order
for it to return my documents.
I thought the specs say the name of a property cannot contain a space. Am I
missing something?

I found out what I was doing wrong.
When saving the document into the repository you must ISO9075.encode() the
property name if it contains characters that need to be escaped (space,
pound sign, etc).
But you must also escape the same property name with the same
ISO9075.encode() when querying the repository.
Thanks for all of the help.

Is there any way to escape the name of a property so it will be stored
properly and be able to be searched when querying the repository.
I tried using the "ISO9075.encode" function on the property name when saving
the document in the repository but it does not seem to help.
I tried querying using the original property name and the encoded name and
still no results in the query.
