 > As a demo I forked zodiac's tl-normalizer plugin
 (https://github.com/gitlost/tl-normalizer) to incorporate the polyfills.
 This would mean that there's no restrictions now on PHP installation, or
 on browsers (such as IE9) that lack `normalize()` to normalize text on
 pasting into tinymce.

 This is great, but this would just work for TinyMCE editor, am I right? It
 doesn't help us with all the other input fields.

 I expanded my previous ticket and added the normalize function to all
 sanitize filter additionally to the save_pre filter.

 Unfortunately there are still some fields not normalized:
 - Text Widget content
 - Website title and slug
 - vita on profile page
 - Add New Tag/Category
 - ALT-text for images in media upload panel
 - Add Tags metabox

 Any help is much appreciated. Ping @swissspidy

 Maybe we can use this approach as a first step and leave the ticket open
 for the javascript solution.
