This is in the username? I came across these restrictions recently:

http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/2002-June/012956.html

and found that all of the restrictions on user names are defined in 
CMFCore/RegistrationTool.py - there is a line like

    __ALLOWED_MEMBER_ID_PATTERN = re.compile( "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*$" )

I've modified it to

    __ALLOWED_MEMBER_ID_PATTERN = re.compile( "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_\.\-]*$" 
)

which allows . and - as characters in the username. I haven't worked out 
how to override this without modiying the source code in CMFCore yet, 
though.

    __ALLOWED_MEMBER_ID_PATTERN = re.compile( "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_\.\-\ 
]*$" )

should enable spaces too (untested). I didn't enable spaces - despite 
requests from users - because of the URI issues noted in the above 
referenced email.
