When comparing Unicode characters, my take is that you have to do things like the IDN wg is talking about. See for example draft-ietf-idn-nameprep-03.txt which talks about the operations you have to do on two strings _before_ you do the actual comparison. So, comparing human readable text is hard, very hard, but possible. paf
