To clarify, I didn't mean the essence of names is shortness only. I assumed they are identifiers with all strings attached, and meant that what sets them apart is that they are supposed to be short.

I guess filenames being used as short descriptions is common, so maybe my pedantry regarding what names are is moot, but I myself rarely use more than a couple of words.

Regarding where space should be utilized, I don't know where it should be, in perfect world, but it is utilized in text interfaces, or their syntax if you will, in a natural way. I know there are solutions for spaces in names, like quoting and escaping, but I would call that more of a hack than using underscores in filenames. And breaking some systems(which, IMHO understandably, might not want to bother with that nonsense) is a reason enough to avoid something, especially when the counterargument appears to be: I want to name my file "the reason we can't have nice things . portable network graphics" and, while I'm at it, change my name to "the one who prefers long descriptive names" to make sure that both the file and I are never mentioned again.
