  • 1.  Character normalization

    Posted 09-27-2008 07:46
    All,
    
    I have been looking even deeper into the unicode issues.
    
    One aspect which matters for string operations is character 
    normalization. In unicode, for compatibility reasons, some characters 
    can be represented as either a single character, or a sequence of 
    characters which compose into a single character. Character 
    normalization means converting them into canonical form.
    
    The friendly people at W3C have written the following document which is 
    intended to help, among others, writers of specifications:
    
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-charmod-norm-20051027/
    
    I suggest that XACML 3.0 be made to conform to this.
    
    Regards,
    Erik
