I think you mean the Unicode decomposition trick to get rid of all the
accents:

<xsl:sequence
      select="normalize-unicode($accents, 'NFD') => replace('\p{Mn}', '') => normalize-unicode('NFC')"
     />

(I think Mn is "Mark, nonspacing"; officially M is "Combining
Diacritical Marks".)

With the caveat that some things that look like accented characters are
real letters so far as the Unicode committee is concerned and this
doesn't work.  (E.g., A-ring, U+00C5 and U+00E5, keeps the ring.)
