Ah, I see.

The normalisation is defined, it's just that it's the null operation.

We only "normalise" newlines in actual text files because they can often change
from one style to another just from the file being opened and saved on a
different platform, which might break scripts, and we only normalise nulls
because they can be the source of unexpected truncation bugs in naïve software.
These concerns don't really affect the DOM API, so there's not really any need
to do them there.

This is consistent with how HTML works in general.
