Webpage filename conventions

Question

I'm just looking through a web project, and they've used a web page file naming convention based on the project plan docs.

It got me wondering: Are there security considerations of webpage filenames? Or any other external considerations that might affect a webpage filename convention?

thanks

Web page conventions helps to makes the webpage compatible with multi-platforms. In Unix uppercase names case sensitive but in windows platforms the names aren't case sensitive. Some very old platforms can have only max 8 letters in file names and extensions can have only three letters. So its safer to use 8.3 convention lowercase. max 8 letters webpage name and 3 letter for extension(.htm,.asp, etc..,)
