I agree. The word "interpretations" in C6 can't have been intended to include the interpretation of code points qua code points. That would make a great many internal processes impossible. I think of C6 as meaning that spell-checkers, for example, should not treat José (NFC, four code points) and José (NFD, five code points) as separate entries. -- Doug Ewell | http://ewellic.org | Thornton, CO 🇺🇸
