Correct. > Why? Isn't that what W3C asked? No. The W3C CharMod wants receivers to check normalization and reject unnormalized documents, *not* to normalize input. Silently normalizing input can conceal the existence of a security-related spoof that is NFC-equivalent to a genuine document. It is essentially the same reason that broken HTML or broken UTF-8 should not be silently repaired. > BTW, are you sure that it is NFKC? My understanding is that it was NFC + > some extra passages. It is NFC, with the additional proviso that n11n must be done even if characters appear as character references (&#xnnnn;) rather than actual characters. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --_The Hobbit_
