Sorry I guess I missed this thread. "Normalize" means something very
different to me, but I understand now at least.
Thanks Michael.

From what was said before on the list, normalisation of unicode is to
map equivalent representations into a single representation.
I think one such case is where one can either use the appropriate
accented character or use the accent symbol which applies to the
character proceeding it.
OK, may be not the best explanation, but hopefully gives you the idea.
