@DocOtak, for general text data, I think UTF-8 normalization is more of a best practice than a necessity for CF purposes. Therefore I suggest that CF remain silent about that, but include it if you feel strongly. Normalization becomes important for efficient string matching, which is why netCDF object names are restricted.
