My mistake, it's not "canonical equivalence" that Peter was talking about but
"conformance" to standard,so that a process can claim a character sequence is
the same character sequence as that which was passed to it.(Thus I assume that
a process can treat these two sequences (containing canonically equivalent
characters but one with noncharacters) as different character sequences but
does not have to do so.)
