<t> These are some standard input types that will be used in the
explanation of certain attributes.

<table>
<tr>
<A NAME="sd"></A>
<td valign="top"> Space delineated:  
<td> Allows for defining multiple names in one string.  For instance, 
if you want to specify both multiple altnames on an object with the 
title key, you would then do altnames = "rusty iron big" so that it 
will respond to either "rusty", "iron", and "big" as well as the title 
"key"
