But that's this _particular_ case.  In an actual application, the
reasonable thing to do would be to kick the string back up to the
application's mapping layer, which either can put the string into NFC
or not.  But the error handling probably lives up there.  (This is
another reason why the RFC can read as it does: the _protocol_
requires certain things, but it doesn't constrain how things outside
the protocol layer behave.)
