Yes, HFS+ implements normalization-insensitive behavior through not being normalization-preserving, in the same way that some FATs might implement case-insensitive behavior through not being case-preserving. They didn't realize that you could have both features: normalization-preserving and normalization-insensitive.
- cryptonector 9y agoI guess it was a very forgivable lack of imagination. When we came up with form-preserving/insensitive we were motivated in great part by the interop mess caused by HFS+ -- we might not have arrived there without that mess, though I'd like to believe that someone would eventually have reached this conclusion regardless.
