Yes, I understand that Zdeněk :  I was thinking specifically of
"extended" TeX's
(e-TeX, PdfTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX, etc.), where a greater degree of
flexibility is
permissble.  Presumably these engines (XeTeX, at least) can handle filenames
with arbitrary Unicode characters, so also permitting a space would be of
great benefit to those using an operating system that encourages the use
of spaces in filenames and paths.
