Just to confirm it one more time: right now libxml has only c14n and exc 
c14n and
there is no unicode normalization.

In one of my other lifes I used to look at this code (unicode regular
expressions, word and line boundaries). It's not easy to use it and
we had some problems with some languages (Japanese, Chinese).
Not mention that it was slow. I've not tried normalization itself but
I would guess it is something similar. IMHO, get the spec and write it
by yourself.
