Normalization on input and before saving to the database, but this  
might scare some people off if used wrong.
What Rails might do is adopt the Character Model for the Web and just  
stick to C normalizations everywhere.

However I think this still might stay optional, because this might  
raise exceptions and loose ends in the situations where
people send intrinsic bytestrings as input parameters. What I do is I  
had defined input norm as a filter for ApplicationController,
as the step in the chain responsible for input sanitization.

Implicit normalization at runtime is not the way because it  
transiently changes the offsets of strings as soon as you slice/ 
truncate/concatenate.
