Early normalization never became a standard? Boy, I've been away from this stuff for too long… Does this mean that all the other Web standards that were going to adhere to early normalization do something similar to what you're proposing? Or do they also "just assume," even though it never became official?
Personally, I'm not a fan of having to worry about this, but maybe we have no choice. --Rich Gillam Lab126 On May 29, 2012, at 5:34 PM, Norbert Lindenberg wrote: > The ECMAScript Language Specification 5.1 makes assumptions about source text > being in Unicode normalization form C (NFC), but doesn't say anything that > would actually make it so.
