[Zope-dev] Standard namechooser

[Aaron Lehmann]

Christian,

What if people are relying on those error messages to do different  
things?
Possibly they already have normalization code they expect to come into  
play in this situation, which is different than yours
.
On the other hand, having to do this seems annoying, so as someone  
writing new code I'd consider your proposed patch a feature, rather  
than a bugfix.

My two cents,

Aaron Lehmann
