I think that what we're doing is right. If we didn't normalize file names, we'd send decomposed form to servers from Mac, while every Windows browser always sends precomposed form.

It is very likely that sites would have trouble with that (either break on any decomposed Unicode because they were only tested with Windows clients, or get confused when a file is touched by multiple platforms). Indeed, imagine a file that's uploaded from Windows, then edited on Mac and uploaded again. Chances are that the server would show two copies if the name were in a different form when re-uploaded.

This is a much more practical situation than the one presented in bug description.
