           Summary: Check for problems with sanitized RecordToken labels
        QA Contact: kepler-dev at kepler-project.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: barseghian at nceas.ucsb.edu
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: trunk
         Component: general
           Product: Kepler

Filing a bug so this doesn't get forgotten - I said I'd try to look into this
ptII change, r64639:
-------
Sanitize RecordToken or OrderedRecordToken labels, which means that characters
like spaces will be converted to underscores.  This is necessary so that the
string representations of RecordTokens can be reparsed by the expression
language.  The alternative of modifying the expression language to allow
strings as labels causes conflicts in the parser.
-------

I worry this change is going to cause problems...anything that expects (e.g.
checks equivalence) the data in a label to come out of a RecordToken as it went
in will seemingly have a problem. It also sounds like a lossy translation.
