Split token doesn't allow space

Hi,
Using build 20080402.
The split token in Designer does not allow me to enter space as the
delimiter, it tells me: The entry field with the focus requires that
you enter something before submitting your changes. Entering space in
the XML Source view works fine and when I simulate the rule it works
correctly with space splitting the string into nodes. It just that the
GUI doesn't allow it...

I would consider this a bug, but since the delimiter for split is a 
regular expression, there are definitely ways to work around it.

FWIW - there are a lot of places in PB that should accept a space or 
even be allowed to be blank that PB won't let you.

I've logged a bug in bugzilla for the split token.

If there are other places in policy builder with this problem, please let me
know or log a bug in bugzilla.

Thanks.
