Comment 17 for bug 903232

@Jason: thanks for the precisions. I'd agree that some minimal filtering (including control characters) would be a good default. We could have three settings: "all" (CloudFiles current deployment), "safe" (all but a few problematic characters) and "paranoid" (base64 or something), with default to "safe".

That doesn't really address the migration issue -- though a conservatively-crafted "safe" mode should be mostly compatible with "all". It might be better to not have a "paranoid" mode, in order to encourage data portability.

@John: thoughts ?
