I agree. I don't even use spaces, so as to avoid having to encapsulate in
quotes. Just upper and lower case. When a delimiter is absolutely necessary,
I use an underscore character instead of a space because I have found an
underscore is a pretty safe special character in all OSs and DBs I have
used.
While I agree with all of this, the problem can occur in your customer's
file paths when they are using your standalones. There's no way to
control that, so be aware.
