The part of my message which you didn't quote tells you that I relaxed 
the constraints so that now the user can enter anything which contains 
letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, dots and doubledots (whatever 
they are called in English). I don't think that any feedback is 
necessary to tell the user why he can't enter a space or some other 
disallowed character.
