I think they should be designed to be portable though - it opens up 
possibilities for musical and audio collaborations between Audacity 
users. At the moment Audacity is the closest thing to a universal 
free multitrack application - a shame to waste the potential over a 
misplaced umlaut...

That's sort of what I was asking about a while back. I don't see why 
ASCII only should be a problem for filenames, if non-ascii characters 
are going to break compatibility. Imagine saying to someone 'I can't 
open your music project because you write in German'...
