The ICU4J classes actually use a very different implemenation than the
sample code. We can look this email over tomorrow.

Subject: Normalization and the sample code

the ICU4J classes that are, shall we say, "closely related" to the sample
code.

which are the wide equivalents and the initial source of my woes), I get the
sequence U+0020 U+0300 (or U+0020 U+0332). The wording of the UAX implies
that this is the "correct" behavior, as long as you don't consider the
non-spacing marks to be a "combination" of space and the non-spacing version
of the character.

> The conformance test file says that FF40 and FF3F should become 0060 and
005F, but nothing about 0060 and 005F ultimately. Neither does it handle
0020 + 03xx in any way.
