Forward slashes in group names are not supported

Domino R5 and subsequent point releases allow forward slashes to be typed into group names. This construct is considered by Lotus to be "not supported." A group name that contains forward slashes can be interpreted as a hierarchical group name, regardless of whether it was intended as such. For example a group name could be interpreted as having a common name, organization unit, and organization, where each is separated by a slash. If all representations of the group name are not identical this could result in failures during name comparisons.
