Re: MS Windows and Unicode 4.0 ?

[Mark E. Shoulson]

Shouldn't it permit "assa" and "a�a" to co-exist?  It isn't like � is 
canonically equivalent to ss (if I read the file aright, it isn't even 
compatibility equivalent).  It's a language-dependent choice to regard 
them as equivalent.  I'd guess that should be the responsibility of the 
de_DE localization package or something.

The current Windows OS still stores filenames as strings of 
sixteen-bit wide words (not codpoints; not characters). It allows 
filenames "assa" and "a�a" to coexist in the same folder, despite its 
claim to being case-insensitive, and I have even managed to create 
filenames containing unmatched surrogate codepoints and noncharacter 
codepoints.
