Is someone who makes a directory listing on a Mac, and then drops that text file directly into a Web page and attempts to use CSS with it 'a 'normal user' by your definition?

It seems to me that there are a lot of users of Macs nowadays,and a lot of Web authors, almost all Web authors use CSS, and some of those are the same people and quite a few of them are normal.

I understand that this will give a mix of NFC in the content and NFA in the stylesheet, and thus non-matching classes and other attribute names.
