Comment (by daira):

 Replying to [comment:8 zooko]:
 > I propose that we modify our
 [source:trunk/src/allmydata/node.py?annotate=blame&rev=ff64a0fef5879d3651bc3db6ca0522d96b217d45#L104
 "config getter/setter" code] to raise an exception any time a field name
 or value has a {{{"#"}}} character in it, both during read and during
 write.

 That seems reasonable. Are we sure that no field values need to contain
 `#`s? (I'm particularly thinking of fields that include syntax we haven't
 defined, like Twisted endpoint strings.)
