Tridge. Is there any reason to believe that Microsoft will continue
to treat Longfilenames without short filenames as valid in vfat?

If this turns into a contest of who can do the silliest things in
their vfat code microsoft could easily introduce a stricter directory
parser and cause all kinds of grief.

It wouldn't even surprise me if you haven't seen such shenanigans
while working on samba.
