At the FS layer, I think that's better. Makes things simpler for programs. For non-techie humans, unicode can be normalized at upper levels, like the GUI file manager or toolkit library that does save dialogs, etc.

That's if humans being confused because of lack of normalization of unicode is a real practical issue and not just something that can happen but never does.
