Having read through the normalization spec I don't agree that it is simple. I would suggest that this is more appropriately placed in the internationalization API than in the core language. Since concatenating two long canonicalized strings to make a new canonicalized string is much faster than first concatenating, then renormalizing, perhaps a method should be provided for that combined concat-giving-a-normalized-result operation. -- Erik Corry _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
