UAX #15 begs to differ. See Annex 8, "Detecting Normalization Forms": http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/#Annex8 In particular, the list of characters and derived properties, while large, is *much* smaller than the complete UCD. I have not tested this, and don't currently plan to. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
