That would actually slow down parsing since I would now have to do lots of
exception processing. It has to be high performance and adding spaces just
makes that harder to achieve.
exactly my point ... I have to deal with the same
exceptions for our
parser. Best thing and what makes the most sense is to use "audit_uid"
for example instead of "audit uid" and so on for all those two word fields.

The are separators for different kinds of information. Don't worry about any
of these details. auparse library should make it such that you don't worry
about the underlying details.
Well .. our parser right now just skips those symbols
when it encounters
them, but I wanted to bring it up to better understand what purpose they
serve. If they are necessary, then I guess they stay.
