Yes, yes, and I'm guessing yes.

why not just say any of the following (':', '/' and '\') can be used as a
delimiter, and it doesn't matter which you use - it's up to the program to
translate any of those to the correct one for the OS?

And what about the case of file names? My MPD splitter
converts all the file names to lower case before the files
are created. I suspect that this technically is wrong.

I think you are correct - file name case should be preserved.

defenitly!
