It's also highly impractical to change comparisons for symbols (that have a textual interpretation) all over. They are in a lot of places beyond browsers. Where would you draw the line? If you got Selectors to normalize, you you ask JavaScript to change next? If you got JavaScript to normalize function names for dispatch, would you ask Java to change? Would a dynamic library linker on an embedded system with no text-related UI have to perform normalization upon loading symbols? > Decisions would also need to be made regarding which normalized from > is the "correct one", and those decisions would need to be complied > with.
