ISO format does seem clear. Date gives much uniqueness, but pollutes the
filename. I'd prefer if when uploading the filename, we could suggest a
pattern and mediawiki gave us a unique alternative filename if needed.
For instance sending:
action=upload&filename=St._Andrew's_Church.jpg&filenamepattern=St.
%20Andrew's%20Church_-_%25d.jpg&comment=...
and receiving:
{"upload":{"result":"Warning","warnings":{"exists":"St._Andrew's_Church.jpg"},"available":
"St._Andrew's_Church-5.jpg, "filekey":...}
