RE: Unicode normalization in CSS [css3-namespace]

The Internationalization WG believes that, while normalization could potentially affect namespaces, for the reason you mention below it is not likely to represent an important issue in this case. Therefore we have no objection to your resolution of this issue nor to your closing this issue and proceeding to publish CSS Namespaces.

We are preparing to ask TAG for a finding based on our current WG position regarding Unicode Normalization and this may have an effect on CSS (and other W3C) specs in the future.

Thank you for your WG's help.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
