Yes, I completely agree that NFC is the right choice and does the least harm. For wire-format exchange the ideal would be for NFC to be the rule. file:// is a little different, since it is mainly trying to represent the characters/byte codes the file system is using while still trying to be recognizable to the user. Maybe it doesn't matter, though: most user-agents provide a dialog box, auto-complete, or some other mechanism. Perhaps the rule is "NFC for the URI, file system/user agent provides re-normalization or normalization-independent selection for file systems that use a different normalization form, de-normalized files use escapes (== don't do that)"?
