FWIW, HFS+ normalizes to something close to NFD. Not adhering to the recommendation to normalize might cause problems here. Also, if file: is intended for local use only, then there may not be any point to normalizing. Hmmm, that will vary, no? It will generally depend on what the filesystem does. Most just-use-8, some do better. ZFS does normalization-insensitive matching; HFS+ normalizes to NFD. Anyways, normalizing to NFC is probably the best thing to do, but mentioning the above might give implementors the sense of urgency they might need to actually implement this recommendation (or a clue as to bug reports they run into).
