[XeTeX] \hyphenation{} and combining diacritics

[Joshua and Amy]

So, I guess I was foolish to hope that Google has figured out how to return
results that have non-identical but equivalent strings?

I hope it's not too off-topic for this list, but can you point me to any
good resources on normalization (is there a straightforward automation for
someone who doesn't do scripting? am I supposed to use decomposed
characters?)?

Thanks.

Josh
