That's just an obsolete relic of Unix-like systems. Virtually all systems
will survive with 8.3, upper case letters only and only one period,
splitting that 8 and 3. If you're worried about major current operating
systems, most ASCII characters are fine, but you need to remember
case-insensitivity. I'm not willing to live in that box, but even if you
are, there's no reason to treat that list as terribly useful.
