  Hello Martin,

  That is excellent. Maybe put "may" in bold and red too.  
    
  So.. the 5D spec doesn't care what text goes there? Can it be "this cannot  
  be  
  empty" ?  
    
  The warning is most certainly critical. I can see new user cleaning out  
  that  
  field and never suspect why a connection never succeeds.
