N11n should be done as close to the creator as possible: i.e. in
authoring tools. This is all futures as yet.

Documents not in UTF-* are normalized by definition, unless it is
*impossible* to convert them to normalized Unicode (typically
because they contain characters not yet present in Unicode).

Correct.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
