Sorry for the misinformation: Kelvin matching K occurs even with NFC/NFD.

I should also clarify that when I wrote "Most normalization problems I've
heard of ... so wouldn't be surprised if ...", I was trying to say that I
could understand Tab being wary of these issues, I didn't intend to confirm
that there are problems, and the comment was based purely on a cursory
perception of other www-style discussions.

The Unicode sentence I quoted was from UAX#15, but a better reference would
be the Conformance chapter of Unicode, specifically conformance clause C6 of
section 3.2: "A process shall not assume that the interpretations of two
canonical-equivalent character sequences are distinct."  I'm not saying that
we have to honour that, but I do think it a relevant factor in the decision.

pjrm.
