Space character has been introduced very early in 2.5.  Page names  
start with an upper case since pretty much day 1 - it's just that now  
we enforce it a bit more carefully.

No, it's not that.  They make the assumption that the user's WikiName  
is a WikiName, not his login name.  We have four different  
identifiers: login name, full name, email address, and a WikiName  
(which we're hoping to deprecate away RSN) in favour of using the  
full name of a person.

We *should* be using WikiNames, but apparently with LDAP we use the  
login name instead of even a constructed WikiName.  Which is a  
bummer.  I am no LDAP expert, so debugging this may take a *long* time.
