Re: encodings and cross references

    I have 3 (weak) arguments in favor of Normalization Form C:

I agree.  I find the fact that the W3C is requiring it persuasive.
UAX#15 says:

I seem to recall a statement by Unicode that additional precomposed
characters were unlikely to be added in the future.  I hope so, since
otherwise there could be a compatibility problem (an old document might
use a decomposed sequence, then a new document could refer to it and end
up making the reference with the precomposed character).  The chance of
it happening in practice seem exceedingly remote, anyway.

Thanks,
