We normalize data coming in (open, paste) to our editor. It makes characters
easy to render.

I find ICU quite good. But you cannot use it as-is: you have to derive your
own subset (e.g. your own JAR) with just the things you need: get rid of
calendars, collations, rich text and so on.
For the Java API, they tend to be too String-oriented: people may find it
appropriate to provide alternative versions of some key methods which
work on StringBuffers.
On the subject of XML 1.1, --and this may be out of date now-- it is interesting
that Xerces put out an almost useless implementation of XML 1.1: you had to
select it by program code, rather than reading the XML header.
