In order to get version 1 of the Globalization API done and into the

already included in this version, and the sensitivity option lets you
choose whether it should be sensitive to minor differences such as
accents. See

It was just one simple use-case. I want to do other things for which
splitting accents and base character and their differentiation is needed
(as for their differentiation, it should not be a big deal, but
normalization/denormalization is critical).

should be part of regular expressions, as it is in Perl, PHP,
Java, and other platforms; there was a proposal for ES4 [1], but
it hasn't been taken up for ES5 or Harmony.
Well, string comparision sans accents is a sensible use case. To do
it via Unicode normalization and then removing all accents is
straightforward. Should it (the character properties, however done)
not be raised?
