On the choices between whether or not to use DNs as the file name, I'd say no. Use the userid. The reason is simple: Every major OS has the ability to search files by content. If I'm looking for my conversations with another user, I can just search and the files containing that name wil be listed. With them combined also handles the case of having an extended conversation with someone who changes their DN regularly. In this, and in most most, cases I'm talking to the person on the other side of the avatars, not to the avatar. (Of course, I don't do a lot of RP... Barely any in fact, but my sister does.)
