Comment(by deryni):

 It is exactly those sorts of confusions and complications that I was
 referring to when I said "internal implications" that needed to be
 "assessed". The problem is that the normalize function is currently used
 for too many things for a change as simple as this to be the entire
 solution. I think a proper solution would involve including context to the
 normalization function (to differentiate at least between account names,
 buddy names, chat rooms, etc.) but I'm unsure what exact differentiations
 would be needed.
