Hello!
Proceeding with my original question.
Is there a way to decompose characters like:
æ 'LATIN SMALL LETTER AE' (U+00E6)
into a separate letters?
Are there many such characters derived from Latin (I'll be calling replace() if
it's only one or two)?
Thanks.

I need to convert a string into an identifier.
Earlier I was using the following function:
Now, I have to build a name with only containing [A-Za-z0-9] only.
My problem is that I often see characters with modifiers like
00E0 à LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE
00E1 á LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
00E2 â LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX
00E3 ã LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH TILDE
00E4 ä LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
...
My questions:
is it acceptable, from the perspective of a western language, to replace
those characters with a character without modifier;
is there a way to do this in xslt;
any better option?
