Of course it is an option. For example, people who use UNIX shells 
manage to live
without spaces in file names perfectly well.  It is prudent not becuase 
everyone will do it,
but because cautious people will. It is prudent not to use a rare 
encoding too.

As a side issue, I don't think "but people will always cross the road 
without looking: it is not an option" is no answer to a statement like 
"it is prudent for people to look before walking across the road."
