Another option would be perhaps to try exclude what we do NOT want
which I guess is punctuation, double spaces,  etc..

Thinking somewhat subsersively as usual,
where is the spec on what a data element should be named anyway?
Perhaps users should be allowed to name their data elements anything
they please?

Double spaces and trailing spaces are pretty annoying though, so that
one I think we should exclude. :)
