Hi Jirka,

You do have good arguments :)

I would be OK with allowedCharacters and dropping \uHHHH completely, since even invalid characters could be specified by inverting a selection.

I have only one last reserve: currently the syntax we define does not allow for nested character class subtraction (trying to keep thing interoperable) how would you specify [\u0000-\u001F<>:"\\/|\?*] without such construct?

Overall, I'd much rather go with allowedCharacter with regex than forbiddenCharacters without regex.
