The only way we can implement equivalence is by converting to a canoncial form, this is how it is done in every part of MediaWiki. The ability to treat strings as binary, and to compare them byte-by-byte, is essential to the performance of the system.
It may be possible to convert to the Unicode 5.0 form when we generate the edit page for certain browsers, and to convert back to 5.1 when they save the page. But that would be more complicated to develop than to just convert to Unicode 5.1 all the time.
If possible that will be very useful. I afraid IE6 still has its share.
If you say Unicode 5.1 is the best solution for your community, then I'm willing to take your word for that.

Here in this link most people proposed changing to 5.1.
We are currently using Unicode 5.1 Redirect to unicode 5.0 titled articles in some cases. After converting both these titles become same. Is that a problem?
