Well, to the honest, even single or double quotes won't help - the Mac allows nearly
everything as a name. The solution I would prefer would be a platform independent
syntax option. The must widely used is the URL spec, I think. Details can be found at
http://www.netspace.org/users/dwb/url-guide.html (and in many other places, e.g. the
RFC at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc1738.html).
