Hi Richard, This is a good point. A keyboard that is doing transforms should specify which type of normalization it has been designed to do. I've filed a ticket to track this.

I have one simple question which some people may be able to answer. Is the keyboard specification intended to distinguish between keyboards that generally output: (a) NFC text; (b) NFD text; or (c) Deliberately unnormalised texts? For example, when documenting my own keyboards, I would want to distinguish between a keyboard that went to great trouble to output text in precomposed characters as opposed to one that took the easy route of outputting text in fully decomposed characters. For a Tibetan keyboard, it would matter whether contractions were compatible with the USE (so generally *not* NFC or NFD) or in NFC or NFD. Richard.
