Re: [i18n-activity] Matching input to datalist values

@i18n mtg: Also need to consider tailored matching, eg. for Turkish.  Then what about accent-stripping, etc.?

Also what about IMEs, and typing pinyin/bopomofo?  Mapping wide and narrow FEast chars?

While it can be useful, it is fraught with dangers that implementers should be aware of the dangers and do their best to support local usage.
At a minimum do normalization. Don't use NFKC/D.

This is a nest of snakes you've opened, it looks simple but involves problems that implementers should be aware of in terms of representing local needs, and they should provide implementations that meet those needs.
