Subject:[Google-Base-API] Word not allowed: pipes

Hello,

I have a client I'm doing google base integration for through the API, on an inventory of about 700 specialty classical music recordings. One of the item titles is "Pipes and Drums" - which sounds pretty innocuous, but results in an error. Submitting the item title, description, and url, which all include the word "pipes", results in a data error with the message "word not allowed: pipes" - the only reason I can come up with is that perhaps they are flagging the word because it could conceivably have something to do with producing explosives, one of the prohibited content types.

In any case, how should I go about getting an exception for this item? And does anyone know of a more comprehensive list of prohibited words I can reference against the rest of my item titles?

Thanks, Hans Friedrich
