What is a valid key?

[Brian Aker]

Hi!

The code says " ", personally I call isgraph(). It would be nice to  
see a standard definition.

For the binary protocol I think none of this should matter at all. A  
key has a key length, so the question of valid characters should not  
be relevant.

Cheers,
