"NFC" and "NFKC" need to be defined, with a reference to the Unicode spec.

Spelling out the abbreviations as "Unicode Normalization Form C" and "Unicode Normalization Form KC" is fine; referencing them is *not*. A reference to the Unicode Standard inherently points to a particular version, and the tables used for NFC and NFKC change from version to version.
