Yes, there will be an API to convert the text between various
normalization forms. PHP itself, however, expects the strings you
give it to be in the NFC form, in case you were curious.

had to solve with an external script in my code: Will there be any
way to access different normalization forms from inside PHP? After
a great deal of research and attempting various methods, I ended up
using a hacked version of an ancient Perl script from W3C to get
normalized Unicode, and I'm hoping there'll be something better in
the offing. I don't have the Unicode skill to write a normalization
routine as either PHP or a PHP extension, not to mention I don't
want to haul around that giant datafile of decompositions :).
