Which demonstrates: NFC applied to the serialization of an XML infoset
is not the same as NFC applied to the text nodes and attributes of that
infoset.

That case is different: it's whether a use of text strings (CLDR in this
case) can be indifferent to normalization. There are other cases, e.g.
the regular expressions to validate some of Unihan's properties, which
should not be normalized, and which assume that the data to be validated
is in NFD.
