This is still a problem today, as there are a number of entries with  
trailing spaces that cannot be unregistered.  Is there any hope of  
correcting this?  Either by updating the JUD data store to remove the  
trailing spaces, or to provide some other mechanism to remove the  
invalid entries?  Or has the use of the JUD been abandoned?... I've  
been away from the jabber community for a couple of years and am not  
up on the latest efforts.

(I posted this to jadmin because it is where the original post was  
made.  If this would be more appropriate in jusers or elsewhere, I  
apologize.)

Thanks,
Will
