    Delete the restriction that hierarchical references may not
    contain spaces.

    Specifically:

    1. In Syntax 12-7, DELETE the first and second footnotes

    ("The period in escaped_hierarchical_identifier and
    escaped_hierarchical_branch shall be preceded by white_space,
    but shall not be followed by white_space.",

    "The period (.) in simple_hierarchical_identifier and
    simple_hierarchical_branch shall not be preceded or followed
    by white_space.")

    2. In Section 12.5, DELETE the following paragraph:

    "There shall be no spaces within the hierarchical name
    reference, except for escaped identifiers embedded in the
    hierarchical name reference, which are followed by
    separators composed of white space and a period-character."

    3. In the NOTES following A.9.5, DELETE Notes 3 and 4.

    (These notes are the same as footnotes 1 and 2 in Syntax
    12-7, quoted above.)
