--- Comment #24 from Mark Aitchison <Mark.Aitchison at chch.planet.org.nz> ---
A possible solution to the problem of potentially creating silly filenames
might be to have a document property (that is inherited from the template, and
so can be set to whatever suits the particular workplace and type of document),
and if the property is blank then the default behaviour when saving a file for
the first time would be:

1. If the document has a title or Heading 1, use that (after removing any
problematic characters like backticks, dollar signs, etc), otherwise
2. Use the present system for untitled documents.

But if the specific property is set then it could, like a spreadsheet cell, be
a constant or could be the result of calculating/combining/formatting
particular document properties, headings, cells, user-defined fields, the
day/month/etc and/or the text set as the title. But, to make life easy for the
average user, it should be easy to set it to something like "do what [some
other popular software] does"
