It is in this case because of Ubuntu's target population and the fact

Exactly. And then Ubuntu will happily let you create files that you
can't read in Windows. It's weird.
It just ocurred to me that when you email files, odds are the receiver is using
Windows. Perhaps all

But clearly this issue can be seen as a limitation of the FAT filesystem,
just not yet imposed at the highest level of the filesystem driver (kernel
or userland)?
Surely ext3 *would* allow a slash in a filename (i guess?), if the userland
tools would just let the filesystem driver ever receive

Agreed. It is not a Linux 'native' file format though.
Making and kind of O/S assumptions about FAT

Not true anymore, the external disks I have seen that have 300 GB came

This e-mail summarises a discussion in #ubuntu-motu between myself,
ScottK and persia. I'll first explain the general problem, then suggest
a messy solution to a surprisingly messy problem. Most of these ideas
are not my own, and in fact had to be explained to me at some length, so
please don't

Since there wasn't an NTFS expert available during the conversation,
NTFS is pretty well known and documented, especially filename handling.
Windows also do allow the creation of such filenames but it's not so

I'd agree for any other fs, but the only reason you would use an ntfs
