I agree.  In light of the following, however...

... and the fact that a good chunk of the people who would care about or  
even notice the difference already use aliases or shell functions instead  
of stock ls, generating traction for such a change could prove difficult.

Furthermore, added quotes *do* convey additional information without  
even interfering with character alignment... Now that I think about it,  
I consider quoting the more preferable default--though I certainly agree  
with some of your points.
