Adding '.' (to cater openoffice) would match what
had been practice ever
since.
If FPC goes that way I'll ask for a-z O-9 - only. Casing breaks
on
Windows mirrors and FAT USB sticks and this kind of incompatibity has
been one of the main arguments for writing this guideline. And there's
no need for _ when you have - and are asking people to rewrite names
anyway.
Sorry, I can't take this remark serious.
