No !

Normalized form take care of glyphs that really can be coded several
different ways: for instance, latin e with acute accent may be directly
coded as 'é', but in unicode, may also be coded as 'e' followed by the
combining acute accent. These are really *two* ways to code *exactly*
the same thing (on the displaying point of view: an 'e' with an acute
accent above it). Hence normalization is needed to match both.
