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...
