Thanks for your answer Jim but I tried to implement the normalization class like the Mono Project did and at one point, I realized it was an overkill because there's way too many dependencies involved for something that should be simple.
I came up with this simple implementation... it's not perfect, I know (This won't work for every language) but it will do the job for me until MS release a version of Silverlight with string normalization support.
