[Building Sakai] EntityBroker. Spaces in custom action entity ids

[Adrian Fish]

Okay, that means that the entire site provider will not work against any 
sites with spaces in their ids. This effectively screws up all of my 
code under our deployment as we have hundreds of sites with spaced site ids.

Is there a workaround? Can I patch this locally so that spaces are allowed?

Cheers,

Adrian.
