The 'rules' for this might not be documented.

I've had problems with custom properties that are named like this:

1 a number  or begin with a number can be a problem
2 spaces in the name doesn't always work
3 use only alphanumeric characters except for underscore  (and maybe dashes)
4 no command token names
5 no object property names

this is why Richard's 'Hungarian Notation' works for this:

  'c'  prefix for custom property

cSQBMailPreferences    <--good custom prop name - this will always work
cSQB_mailPreferences  <--with an underscore delimiter


of course any character, even binary is welcome inside any custom 
property. We're talking about property NAMES and Array key names.
