I may have lost some message in the group, but I do not understand 
exactly where the problem is.

Given that a normalization phase has to be carried out anyway,
so the problems with E ACUTE do not arise, for diacritical marks in 
other languages we may just dictate that they are normalized in a 
fixed order.  So

will be equivalent to two characters in that order, and it would be the
task of the normalization phase to check for the order. I think 
this is more or less what people in idn are doing in NAMEPREP phase.

ciao, .mau.
