Hi. Just wondering whether a case could be made for use of NFKC rather than NFC (á la XML) for semantic applications. NFKC could perhaps lead to computer-identifiable matches more accurately reflecting cases where a human would see a match, and hence to a better match between strings and concepts, and thus perhaps to better inferences from data. Perhaps NFKC would have would have a place in late normalisation of data early-normalised to NFC (at first glance re-normalising text known to be in NFC to NFKC seems a relatively light operation, a lot of cases needed in a full normaliser could be optimised away as unnecessary).
