The question in 3 is how should applications *produce* "fully
normalized" XML 1.0 or 1.1. My point about 27 characters is that I
believe an application that chose to serialize the single combining
solidus character as a numeric character reference would be producing
fully normalized Unicode. Unicode doesn't care about the XML infoset,
it only cares about sequences of octets.

Unraveled?
