I'm not sure what the rationale for having locale.normalize is - it
does not appear to serve a particular purpose.

Again, I would like to hear if people use it, and why.

In any case, it is used internally in the locale module, and needs to
be fixed.

Notice that, in the @enc style, enc usually does *not* denote an
encoding. For de_DE at euro, it primarily indicates the currency; on
Linux and Solaris, that, in turn, implies Latin-9 (but other systems
may well use UTF-8 for this locale).

The other use of this feature I know is no_NO at nynorsk, where it merely
indicates a language dialect (Nynorsk vs. Bokmal - now indicated as
nn_NO and nb_NO).
