I think the problem statement and the companion page get carried away into corners of Unicode normalization that aren't all even addressed in computer languages when they apply to English and, yet, minting identifiers works well enough for writers of English. To focus the problem statement on what people should be able to do (as opposed to starting from Unicode normalization) and to avoid a situation where orthographic correctness for other languages were awarded a higher standard than the level of pragmatic incorrectness tolerated for English, I've added an alternative problem statement to http://esw.w3.org/topic/I18N/CanonicalNormalization -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
