Most helpful I think would be some user stories where people actually
run into Unicode Normalization problems in day to day practise with the
technologies under consideration. Someone posting on their blog how they
had trouble debugging why their CSS Selectors did not match because the
style sheet and the markup document used strings that looked the same
but were encoded differently, for instance. Or people with accounts they
created on one computer, but cannot log in to from another one.

So far I've largely not encountered people having problems with this,
and believe past requests for affected users didn't quite unearth any,
and I do not see any references to affected users in your references. I
would think we can't find large groups of people who are bitten by this
every day, there is not much of a problem to be solved, so we'd say it'd
be a good idea if browser's exposed their NFC/NFD implementations as API
and leave it that.
