I know that's not a great help, but they are are safe and don't expose the file system in any manner. I'd still want the toURI, to ensure that the URL will last across sessions (in as much as it can). There's been a bit of discussion at WHATWG about "safe characters" in file systems, and so forth. There's also kick in the pants-bug in Chromium, using the old Windows API which allowed very limited path lengths: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=63574 I bring those points up, only to point out that File Systems are varied, and some not very rugged. -Charles
