I'm approaching it the same as term vectors... make the norms optional on a per field basis. My first cut is returning a dummy norm array filled in with the equiv of 1.0f so I didn't have to go modify all the queries/weights/scorers that retrieve the norms. For best performance, those scorers should be modified to handle null.
