Dear Stef --

We've only obtained a numeric name, 113549. We're just about to apply
for the name "RSA Data Security, Inc."

I'm using "rsadsi(113549)" as shorthand, but we didn't register
"rsadsi".

When we register our alphanumeric name, should we start using "RSA
Data Security, Inc. (113549)"? (Can identifiers have spaces? Am I
missing something?)
