I suspect the requirement for NFC is for compatibility with Latin-1.
Maybe there are clever ways of performing NFC without actually performing a
full de-composition.

as the C forms consist of de-composition followed by composition.
So it would be strange to implement NFC, and not implement NFD.
I see. I never looked at it that way. I always thought that de-composition
was the hard way, and never realized that you actually needed to de-compose
before you can compose. But come to think of it, it sounds rather logical.
Hmm, that sounds counter-intuitive towards the fact that the W3C committee
for XPath decided that only NFC be mandatory. In other words: it sounds
kind only to make one normalization form mandatory, but in fact they impose
both NFD and NFC, so why not make both mandatory anyway?
