XML, at least, specifically does not require support for canonical
equivalence. Implementations are permitted to allow loose matching
of names, which *may* include Unicode canonical equivalence; AFAIK
all existing implementations support bit-by-bit equivalence only.
However, I will bring up the matter of U+226C in XML content to the
appropriate parties.
