Hmm. I don't think I'd recommend it - it's an allowed character, but 
as a high-ASCII character, its charToNum value differs between Mac 
and Windows (and unlike fields, object names don't get automatically 
converted) so I suspect it might cause trouble cross-platform.

I use spaces all the time in object names, but pretty much never use 
high-bit characters. The potential for confusion wiith cross-platform 
work just seems too great.
