foo
must be alphanumeric
Explanation
The value of this element is always a non-empty alphanumeric string of any length. The acceptable characters (other than leading and trailing whitespace) are those that match the regular expression [A-Za-z0-9]+. Leading and trailing whitespace is not significant.
