So, if you have an existing file in normalization D it is not possible
to write a file in normalization C but otherwise the same name?
(assuming it contains a composed character in the file name)

But otherwise the windows clients use normalization C for files they
create, right?

If there is two files with the same name but different normalizations
will the windows client always open and write to the one with
normalization C?

I think the solution sounds very good, just want to clear a few things up.
