Jan Kalina commented on ELY-50:
-------------------------------

By RFC character {{@}} have a special meaning - is used when realm indicates also collection of users who might have access - {{registered_users at gotham.news.example.com}}.

Maybe can be used as separator {{@@}}.

Note: Sun implementation use {{, \t\n}} as separator.

> By using space as the separator a single realm name that contains a space is split into two realms.
> Either support quoted realm names if they contain a space or choose a different delimiter - (A different delimiter other than a control character may be difficult as the rest can appear in a realm name)
