I like this proposal. This would restore the version 1.5.3 behaviour.

My proposal for using escape sequences in filenames for problem characters is up for discussion at the moment, but I'm not sure if they really need to be reversible (except that it helps to reduce the chances of different URLs being saved to the same filename). Would it be sufficient to map all illegal characters to '@'? For Windows, the code already changes '%' to '@' and it could just as easily change '*', '?', etc. to '@' as well.
