Sorry for posting to my own post. In particular if the “longer file names”
cannot have blanks in the names, then there is no problem for LPub or LSynth.
20.3 would require no changes at to LPub or LSynth.
Given that sscanf splits things up by whitespace, I think LPub and LSynth
would misparse file names with blanks or tabs in them.

I very strongly support allowing the inclusion of whitespace in LDraw filenames,
provided the first character is not whitespace. Bricksmith has always allowed
users to do this. When parsing a line, I get all the matrix numbers, skip all
whitespace after them, and then dump any remaining characters into the part
name.
I also think clinging to the obsolete DOS naming scheme is a
hinderance to readability, so I would be happy to see it abandoned.
Ultimately I don’t really care what standards are decreed in the Part Library
name conventions per se. But since a part reference can point to something in
the library, elsewhere on disk, or to an MPD submodel, part library naming
restrictions could bleed into many other areas where they are highly unwelcome.
For instance, I consider it absolutely vital to be able to create MPD submodel
names that I can read, and that means long names and spaces.

Whitespace in filenames has been supported by many Ldraw programs for quite a while, but it does not (...) (18 years ago, 2-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
