Sure, *now*. The acceptance of Bug 1580 means that the original "But which one?"
question now goes away.

Or maybe it was never a valid question; see Bug 1578 comment #3.

Actually, for different SequenceType <: xdt:anyAtomicType*,
[]_Convert(SequenceType) *does* result in different normalizations, since the
choice of SequenceType constrains the choice of PrototypicalValue. However, that
should now be a moot point.
