What about language-independent character-folding: where in the
Unicode database is the data for that?

This is what Emacs currently does, IIUC what you say. The NFD
normalization uses the decomposition data included with
UnicodeData.
This question is separate from, though related to, the "Character
folding in text editors" thread.
The UCA database includes the file decomps.txt, which is said to be
based on the normative properties:
# The decompositions used in the generation of DUCET are loosely based

Btw, are there any editors out there which support similar features?
If so, can someone please point to them, and perhaps provide a short
summary of the features they provide and how are they implemented?
Thanks.
