> My concern is that this change has implications far wider than just the FileSystem API on Linux.  You're changing how normalization is done for all URLs on the web.  That seems a bit like the tail wagging the dog.

> Limiting the change to just the filesystem scheme is also unattractive because then the filesystem scheme is treated subtly differently than every other URL scheme.  Most folks who process filesystem URLs (or just URLs without specific knowledge of the filesystem scheme) will screw this up, creating an even bigger mess.

I hear you.  Those are valid concerns.  What do you suggest?

We can try looking at why downloads aren't normalized, and testing to see if the FAT driver deals with USB drives, but I'm a bit nervous about the robustness of that solution.
