RE: [cgmo-webcgm] QUESTION: ban 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0D from 'name' ?

OK, I'll see if I can come up with the answer to the question of what a
format effector is.

I'm looking at ISO/IEC 2022 right now, and the answer is not jumping out at
me.

Another good point, Rob.  I don't know the answer, right off hand.  I have 
a feeling it could be defined somewhere like ISO 2022 (isn't that where C0 
and C1 control characters are defined? ).

I know from ancient history that we (ISO CGM group) were talking about 
things like HORIZONTAL TAB, NEWLINE, CARRIAGE RETURN, VERTICAL TAB, etc/

Are you interested to research and come up with the answer?  It would be 
good to spell out, just what "format effectors" includes.  I just googled 
"format effector", and there are plenty of hits.  (I'd like to keep 
processing review comments for tomorrow, rather than get side tracked.)
