Why not using a XML parser to do this job?
Using Xerces with the SAX interface to enumerate the various items will
allow you to support lots of encodings (including UTF-8 and UTF-16), then in
the callback that receives the parsed and isolated string items, you can use
a normalization function to transform them, and then generate the new XML
document on the fly.
It's really not complicate to do with the Xerces+ICU pair, and an example of
a simple transformation of a XML document.
You could use a DOM-based API as well (but DOM requires parsing the whole
document before you can browse the elements and attributes tree to generate
a new document; one interest if that DOM naturally "normalizes" the values
of attributes and their relative order, in addition to resolving the various
entities, allowing you for example to normalize and unify the namespaces as
well if you want to build a coherent set of XML files using the same set of
namespace prefixes).
