This assumes that there is only logical representation for a given
string visible to the user.  You didn't mention anything like that
until now, however.  Will there be such a canonicalization?  If not,
then the user might see something in the window, and search for it
with a string that *looks* the same -- but differs in logical
representation, and thus Emacs will not find it.  Perhaps this doesn't
happen very often, then we will ignore it for the moment, but it seems
like a potential bug report to me.  :)
