I think Malcolm probably meant (or at least it would be reasonable to ask) not
"What are the exact details of Normal Format", but "What is the fundamental
definition of Normal Format", so the answer would be something like:
"Normal Format of a given file is the format in which the file is stored in
the repository and as the pristine copy of its base revision in the working
copy. [...Details about why it is used and how it can differ from the working
copy...]"
I agree with your comment that such information should be somewhere like in a
libsvn_wc documentation file.
