------- Comment #2 from ap at webkit.org  2007-03-21 23:23 PDT -------
This change was intentional, and was a result of a conflict between different
specs. In Unicode, code points U+2329 and U+232A are deprecated in favor of
U+3008 and U+3009, respectively. According to 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod-norm/>, text on the Web should be NFC-normalized,
and following this requirement is impossible if we map ⟨ to U+2329
(deprecated characters cannot appear in normalized text).

So, the current situation is that we let conforming documents remain conforming
by applying an updated mapping for ⟩ and ⟨, but we don't yet fix
documents that explicitly contain denormalized text. Bug 8738 is tracking this
issue.
