As currently specified File's name property seems to be a code unit sequence. In zip archives the resource's path is a byte sequence. I don't really know what popular file systems do. Given that a File has to be transmitted over the wire now and then, including it's name property value, a code unit sequence seems like the wrong type. It would at least lead to information loss which I'm not sure is acceptable if we can prevent it (or at least make it more obvious that it is going on, by doing a transformation early on). We may also want to restrict "\" and "/" to leave room for using these objects in path-based contexts later. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
