Costas,

It sounds like you know what you're doing.  My only concern was that the 
   Greek Extended area was categorized as compatability or presentation, 
in which case they might not be canonically equivalent to decomposed 
codepoint sequences.  But if you're doing NFC normalization already, 
then obviously they are.
