Bad characters in filenames (Was: With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It)

I think a very good argument could be made for being *very* selective about which characters below ASCII 32 ("SPACE") are acceptable in filenames. Not many users really want or need to use terminal escape code sequences in filenames, nor new lines or backspaces. Elijah ------ but space and up are fair game |
