Let's be precise here. If the 7-character character sequence "蠔" appears in an XML document, it never opens a tag and it is never changed by normalization. If the 1-character sequence consisting of a single U+226E appears in an XML document, and that document is put through NF(K)D, it will become not well-formed. However, NF(K)D is not recommended for XML documents, which should be in NFC. -- First known example of political correctness: John Cowan "After Nurhachi had united all the other http://www.reutershealth.com Jurchen tribes under the leadership of the http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Manchus, his successor Abahai (1592-1643) [EMAIL PROTECTED] issued an order that the name Jurchen should --S.
