Re: All these lonely accents, where do they all come from?

No, that is NOT the required property.

You start with text A in some horrible legacy charset C (which knows nothing
of normalization and embodies horrendously redundant notations). You
convert it into Unicode U(A) and normalize it N(U(A)) (because converters,
like keyboards, are one of the small set of programns that MUST
normalize). 

no, the converter is not one of those things that MUST normalize, because
you might want the possibility of translating back to the original charset
after manipulating the text in Unicode.
