I just browsed through RFC-3010 and I found one thing that
bothers me and it has not been discussed yet (I think).

RFC says:

How do we mount something that contains a precomposed
character like:

  U+00E1 (Composed of U+0061 and U+0301)

If the U+0061 U+0301 is used and our server is assumimg U+00E1,
can a malicious hacker set up another NFS server that has
U+0061 and U+0301 to mount his NFS volume? I could even
imagine very tricky combinations with Vietnamese text
but that would be another question...

Forgive my ignorance if this was discuseed - I did not see it
in the archives.
