Re: Unicode normalization in CSS

I fail to see what the size of the code units (or choice of Unicode encoding form) have to do with it? Sequences of code points and their comparison are the issue and it would not be a revolution to do so in a normalized manner. Normalization of stylesheets and other documents may not make sense, but that doesn't address the problem of selection. See my recent emails and the I18N WG's work on same.
