Does Linux support the new Universal Disc Format (UDF)?

ISO9660 have several limitations:
   File names must be only in capital letters , A - Z. 
   File names are limited to the DOS 8 + 3 format. 
   No more than 8 directory levels. 
   Only legal character besides letters is the under score (_).

UDF does not have the name and directory restrictions that ISO9660
imposed. 

How do people deal with the long file name problem in ISO9660?

Lawrence,
