Subject: Normalization Conformance Test Suite

I have another item for the agenda. Long ago, Martin urged me to put
together a test suite for Normalization. I recently augmented some tests we
had, and made a pretty comprehensive test. The result is up on

http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/conformance/NormalizerTestSuite.zip

http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/conformance/NormalizerTestSuite.txt

(both .zip and .txt versions).

Martin has put his independent implementation of Normalization through
this, and it has also been through a third verification at IBM.

My proposal is to link this file from the Normalization TR as the official
test suite. I can explain more in the meeting about the composition of the
file. Also, Martin also proposes having additional files derived from this
with a format that is easier for some programs to process, which sounds
reasonable to me.

I do not suggest printing off the document for the meeting -- it is much
too large. Instead, anyone who is interested should download it.
