In brief, it means that all Web documents SHOULD be either in
Normalization Form C (if they are Unicode documents), or in a form
which transcodes directly into Normalization Form C (if they are
in non-Unicode charsets) *at the time of creation*.

This is true of the overwhelming majority of non-Unicode documents,
and it is not hard to make it true of Unicode documents as well.
The intention is that downstream processes can assume Normalization
Form C on input without having to implement it for themselves.
