Does it really matter if my name got slightly formatted? Seems like we are making a mountain out of a mole hill. If I log in with "my username" it should still allow me to login as "My username". Why do I care how things are formatted behind the scenes?
People do complain about this on bugzilla on ocassion.
If a user enters an invalid character for users with JavaScript you could improve this by disabling the submit button and saying "invalid character entered". The combination of these 2 things seems more than enough over something trivial.
Some invalid chatacters (most actually) are invisible. Users may not realize nor be able to see the rlm they entered (for example).
There's also a distinction between normalization and invalid. Many wont know the difference between normalized chars (different spaces etc)
