Someone suggested on IRC once that something might break if we use spaces, because the message names also serve as page names and maybe whatever creates the pages will expect underscores. I usually use hyphens, myself . . . I find them less obtrusive and easier to type than underscores.
That's bollocks, spaces in message names are fine and there's no reason we can't use them. We have, I think, a few messages with spaces in their names at present as it is.
I think I used ucfirst instead of Title::newFromText() to convert from message names to DB keys, for efficiency reasons. That could be changed, of course. The efficiency of the message cache system has been completely blown to hell anyway, by the invention of parsed messages. Here I am worrying about a few more lines of PHP, and then someone adds a shell out to Tidy.
