It is unlikely a bank will be willing to open an account so named. Even if that were achieved, it is unlikely anyone's payables department is going to be able to cut a check in favor of that name. I wonder if you've ever annoyed a taxing authority? They have far less humor than one might imagine. Just because you've formed a legal entity with such a name does not mean that others will regard it with legitimacy. They certainly might not in terms of engaging in actual commerce. Perhaps with respect to certificate's organization names it should be in the certificate as it is in life. No one would choose to use that name in an actual business that intends to be paid. Perhaps no certificate should feature that name either. But why not name it "Attention '; DELETE FROM users; DELETE FROM user; DELETE FROM customers; DELETE FROM customer; DELETE FROM client; DELETE FROM clients; COMMIT; Injection, The Sequel, LLP"? In the case of a business merely named ";", there's the burden that this entity name, even if legal in some jurisdiction, is so nondescript and vague as that any financial transaction with it would be questioned. A certificate should not issue in such a name. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
