Default Special Characters in Sheet Name

As you've found, the '/' character is not allowed in a sheet name (since it
is a valid path separator). You will have to use a different character, such
as '_'.

I want to name a sheet 1/1/08. I right-clicked on the sheet tab but it
does
not accept the slash character. Is there some way to do this?
