This is perhaps a bit oversimplified. Processes that do searching and sorting on Unicode text should be able to work with text in any normalization form, converting to and from NFD as necessary. They shouldn't be constrained to operating correctly only on text that is already in NFD, which is the impression I got from Robert. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
