Do certain spiders/robots remove spaces from filenames and hence should spaces in filenames be avoided in websites?
I once learned that I should avoid mixing upper and lowercase as well as special chars (use only ASCII) and spaces. Since in the URL they may need to be escaped – hard to type manually (for testing) and likely to be overseen.
You might have as well problems with some weird bots not working correctly, but I’m not aware of one.
