That said, the "decomposed" version of UTF-8 has nice side effects on

AFAIK, the RockRidge standard prescribes to use the portable character
set, and it has nothing to do with Unicode. Basically, it is a subset of
ASCII.

So, I don't think UTF-8 encoded filenames are valid regardless whether
they are decomposed or not.
