In fact, I think it would be a very good idea to create some sort of standard and get to it before microsoft does so that it won't foul it up afterwords. However, in the long filename section you suggest using something similar to 4dos descript.ion files. Woouldn't something resembling how unix handles long file names be more appropriate here? I mean it's been around for years already, everyone knows it works, and there'd be plenty of support for it already. Other than that, I wholeheartedly applaud your initiave (except I'd really like to see anything with an ascii value less than 33 be illegal in filenames) However, I don't think I'll garner much support on this front, so treat it as only a personal wishlist item. :)
