[MR] Scrolls, Promissories and Name Misspellings

[Sandra Rangel]

My thought is that if it an AoA _and_ has a Triton confirmation there
should be no misspelling of a person's name. I say this in defence of
SCA procedure because otherwise wouldn't that defeat part of the
purpose of having the Triton confirmation in the first place?

Any other time a misspelling occurs it would be most unfortunate only
if the recipient is OCD or a perfectonist but but let me offer this
thought...lines weren't drawn or inked perfectly straight and
sometimes words were mispelled and left that way. If it werked for
them can it not work here? ;)
