But as a matter of fact, draft-newman-i18n-comparator-14 doesn't define any collations that would actually solve the Unicode NF issue, so it's not really clear how this helps CalDAV (except that it now uses a framework in which the solution may become available in the future).

Maybe the set of initial registrations in <http://tools.ietf.org/ html/draft-newman-i18n-comparator-14#section-9> needs to be extended?

Yes, I agree. That's one of the next steps and why a registry was created (so we could do it outside the base comparator draft).

Last week Ted & I were discussing whether one could define a Very Liberal Comparator (VLC) for general use. It would be handy to have one which matched e with E, é, è É... and matched o with O, ø, ô, and so on. That would help in calendar searching use cases, e.g. a user who can't type in accents (or doesn't know how) wants to find the invitation from André by searching for "andre". It would probably be useful in many other cross-language or unknown-language situations too.

Such a comparator would be most useful for exact and substring matches; I don't know offhand how it would best do ordering so it might not be as useful for ordering.

I believe Arnt intends to continue working on this general problem, for which I'm very grateful, and other contributions would be most welcome.
