Again, it wasn't about that particular *value* (which, as I concurred, is not
a [GU]UID). It was about the fact that different tools spit out stuff in
different formats, and that it would suck royally if you would have to
convert because Gevik didn't think of the particular format of your
particular tool.
But I guess your suggestion of just ignoring punctuation would work just fine.
