It's a pity I haven't read this thread earlier, currently I'm lagging a 
bit behind...
For me it would be nice to allow/disallow certain characters in 
passwords. For example, we had a release of horde/imp which failed to 
cope with the "/"-character in passwords, so we disallowd that 
character, otherwise support was to busy answering questions like "why 
can I use every application but webmail?".
