Huh? While that is awfully stupid of windows (quelle surprise), it's
quite obviously usually possible to just backup the files trashed from
netmounted volumes, like other volumes, to the user's "home trash", as
the spec itself recommends as a failsafe fallback.   (I did say
"ever-less-relevant inefficiencies" - I'm fully aware such copying might
be "wasteful", but it is a simpler and easier to assure secure scheme.)
