Because XML/Ada tries to be as efficient as possible, and normalizing
the document takes time that a lot of application have no need for. If
indeed your application is only able to deal with normalized document
(it really shouldn't, the XML standard is quite clear that a document
is not necessarily normalized), then indeed you should call Normalize.
