I notice normalization is not on your list. Would you consider adding it? In MediaWiki we currently have a pure PHP implementation of the NFC algorithm, which is obviously rather slow. We tried writing our own interface to the ICU normalization functions, but lost interest when we hit some stability issues after deployment. Normalization is important because client systems may apply either NFC or NFD, or just leave the text unnormalized, leading to spurious instability of text in a version tracking system like a wiki. -- Tim Starling -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
