I do think it's worthwhile to define the rules for connector names. However, I think it would be better to describe the current restrictions for names outside of them appearing within URLs. For example, if we can keep connector names relatively free of constraints but instead define how names should be encoded when used within URLs (e.g., URL encoding), then we may not have (m)any backward compatibility issues other than fixing some bugs related to proper encoding/decoding. Thoughts?
