           Summary: [for 1.0] relax .client naming slightly
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk
            Blocks: 23148


The spec says:
> The client name, clientname, MUST be a non-empty string of ASCII digits,
> letters, dots and/or underscores, starting with a letter, and without sets
> of two consecutive dots or a dot followed by a digit.

Sjoerd points out that this is too restrictive - every context in which we
mention client names is allowed to start with "_" - so when we're breaking
D-Bus API anyway, we should apply s/starting with a letter/& or an underscore/
here.
