Do you have details on this? It's interesting because aside from the '/' (which is granted special meaning) POSIX only specifies which characters are portable and guaranteed to be supported in filenames, but does not forbid any characters. Would this mean interfaces that create files "shall" fail if given a name contain a newline? It would be a welcome change, but I can see many folks resisting...
