I may partially agree on this one, because as you well may name a 
document fußstraße.doc, but I strongly believe you won't for a .pas one...
Programmers should get their feet back on programming, not on the 
filesystem bells and whistles, IMHO.

While you cannot force an end user not to use certain characters for the 
filenames, you certainly can a developer; as far as he knows a bit of 
the tools he's dealing with. And he should.
