Without repeating too much of what has already been said, phpBB3 runs with its own normalizer (NF[CD]K?) and a full implementation of case folding along with all sorts of other goodies. For us, it would be best if semantics were off. Then we could trivially determine whether or not we should use functions built into PHP or if we should use functions we have written. unicode.semantics saves us nothing...
