Doing normalization before mapping goes against stringprep and results
in different behaviour (see the "self reverting" test vectors on
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/draft-josefsson-idn-test-vectors.html>).
I'm not saying your idea is a bad one, I think it is another
indication that IMAA cannot be a simple stringprep profile.
