 Download the Victoria, Australia OSM SHP data from:

 http://downloads.cloudmade.com/oceania/australia/victoria/victoria.shapefiles.zip

 Extract the SHP files and attempt to load the Location data from
 victoria_location.shp

 Expected result: File is loadable in Map
 Actual Result: Failure with the following error message.

  Error: An exception occurred in FDO component.
         Invalid Feature schema element name 'ADDR:CITY'; must not contain
 ':'

 This is because the underlying SHP table has a column that uses ":" as a
 character in its column name.

 As OSM data is pretty common and getting more and more popular, it may be
 necessary to remap those : characters to something else ie "_" rather than
 just throwing an error and failing,
