Well, it´d be akin to writing FAT with filenames that later can´t be
read from other OSs.

I mean... if you write on a foreign filesystem, it´d be nice to
enforce the restrictions of the OS where that filesystem originated.
One of the reasons people format drives with NTFS on Linux is
obviously for data interchange with
Windows machines...

At least a "strict compliance" mode should be offered, with the same
filename limtis as in windows and a "linux only" mode in any case
without ´em.

Just my $0.02 of course...
