Semantic quibble. In HFS+ ':' is a "never-used-in-a-name-on-disk" 
character because Carbon and the VFS abstraction layer for HFS+ use it 
as a path delimiter.

But in defense of my sloppy wording, I cite Wilfredo Sanchez (who helped 
create the needed bodges) at 
http://www.wsanchez.net/papers/USENIX_2000/:

     So on disk the separator is a colon
