      NFC Unicode Canonicalization should be used when comparing hostnames with certificate properties in the hostname validation code in the SSL engine for the shell and C++ driver. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5891 and http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4343.txt

      This will be a joint effort with implementing NFC for username, passwords etc.
