... which effectively means that the template processor does not apply any form of normalization. NFC should have been used early; if it wasn’t, for some reason, IRI doesn't impose it.

Note the point, though, about include-normalization. Consider:

  http://example.org/{boo}{moo}


Let 'boo' = 'e'
Let 'moo' = '\u0301' (a combining mark)

The resulting URI is not NFC, even though each of the parts is.
