validate_dbname does not enforce database names starting with characters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a couchdb Server object
>>> import couchdb
>>> s = couchdb.client.Server('http://localhost:5984/')

2. Create a Database where the name doesn't start with a-z
>>> db = s['999']

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should raise an exception that the database name is invalid, instead the
Database object is returned

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.5. Ubuntu Linux 8.04

Please provide any additional information below.
