IMHO, he means that the userspace would only see Unicode filenames, and the userspace could only give Unicode names back to the kernel.

Its basically the only sane way to approach the problem of getting the entire Linux community to convert to Unicode. -- Patrick "Diablo-D3" McFarland || [email protected] "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
