Normalization is enabled in wikis as a fix for a reported bug. If it is not
there, Firefox, chrome extensions like fix-ml, people using Inscript keyboards,
and keyboards other than Narayam will surely enter chillu, AU vowel sign, NTA
in 5.0 unicode way. This was considered as bug and thats why normalization is
enabled in other wikis. If it is not enabled in commons, please file a bug for
that. 

Please understand that dual encoding is an issue. and the Malayalam
normalization in wiki is workaround and a not a solution. The solution should
come from UTC. I am trying for that. Can we just hold on till we get any reply
from TDIL  or UTC on that? Or I can keep only AnjaliOldLipi font alone for
Malayalam. If I get a confirmation from 2-3 people from Malayalam wiki, I will
remove Meera, Rachana, RaghuMalayalam fonts and there by avoiding the
normalization rules of that fonts. Let me know.
