(This is a personal comment)

The existence of different character sequences forming identical 
semantic values (i.e. normalization forms) in Unicode and escaping 
options in XML means that pure bitwise equality of strings cannot be 
guaranteed for operations where one might otherwise expect an "equality 
match". I think this is important for XML Schema to recognize.

I will add this to our agenda for next Tuesday. I wish I18N-Arch would 
publish CharMod-Norm.

Internationalization is an architecture.
It is not a feature.
