we used WebEx; I think we used a scripted attribute to substitute

Here at Oregon State University, we set the person's firstname

We are currently working with HR on evaluating ways of
displaying users who have no first name. We currently are
receiving FNU from HR, but many downstream systems has
expressed issues with it. Leaving it blank would create
issues for other systems. I guess the overall problem is
probably something I can ask in an InCommon mailing list.</p>

Maybe I'll regret even askig but would you care to share
what that use<br>
case is or rather how a single space can convey the
required semantics<br>
(not not any other non-whitespace character)?<br>
