Both creator and package names may have spaces in the real world. Not being able to enter them feels strange, even though I understand why. There should be some advice on how to handle that so it's consistent, otherwise a popular software can end up with

  • "Dependency_track"
  • "DependencyTrack"
  • "Dependency-Track"

An alternative would be to accept spaces in name and always translate them into the same character when generating a Swid to enforce consistency.

What field does not support spaces? It appears that spaces are properly encoded to %20.

When using Safari on OS/X I can't enter a space in the software name or creator name.
