using the transformation in a rather wrong way and working it is a 
corner case. The transformation is based on some core functions that are 
used across openser and expects name=value; list for a properly result.

Not really, you have a nameaddr there before the params list, with white 
space -- probably if you escape the whitespace might work.

By chance is working correctly, taking the first part as a parameter 
name. White spaces cannot appear in names, then can appear in values if 
the value is enclosed in quotes.

As said, using the s.select transformation before the param 
transformation is safest way right now. In the future might be another 
transformation that can return the nameaddr part and the parameters 
part, but there will be two transformation to be used as well. param 
transformation is not going to change as it behaves properly.
