You may need also this other reference which justifies the need for early
normalization and how it should be used in XML applications:
Requirements for String Identity Matching and String Indexing,
W3C Working Draft. http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-charreq.
(Notably its part 3 and its Appendix which lists DOM and URIs as using this
W3C CharReq specification, and why you can't in fact avoid NFC normalization
when processing XML documents.)
