This is most likely a reliable prediction of the future: existing
normalizations and not seen as doing it all, and other equivalence
relations will be defined. The current problem with normalization and
Hebrew vowel combinations might not be such a big deal if early
normalization to NFC wasn't a W3C recommendation for W3C protocols, such as
XML.
