    I got in the habit of using the underscore for spaces in naming way back 
in the 90's when I was working on a site hosted from an Apache server. I've 
never used a quote in a URI before, does this quoting work for web file 
naming too? I'm having a hard time seeing this as being cross platform, 
especially in older browsers.
