Hi Markus!

Your observation is correct. The normals in the UnstructuredGrid are required 
to have length equal to the
area of the corresponding face (see the Doxygen doc for UnstructuredGrid).

The reason for this is compatibility with MRST, which has the same convention. 
In particular some of the
parts that make up opm-core were originally written to be used from MRST, and 
therefore had to have
the same behaviour.
