* Turn normalize data into an autoloadable class and use the class name
as key instead of a partial file name with a base directory.
* This protected function is not aimed at re-use in extensions,
has no other usage known to Codesearch. Mark it internal,
and remove the compat introduced by 31283f34bf.
* Update the now ten-year-old documentation comments that described
this as "Temporary". The functionality and comment were introduced
in 2010 by Tim with r60599 (ad19c032b0).

* Replace the broken wikitech-l archive link with a working one,
and describe the thread for easier future reference.

This is a simple utility. I would be worried if this nears
the kind of complexity that warrants constructor parameters
and state.
Allow it to be used without instantiation for simpler use.

And include tests :)
This code is independent of MediaWiki, but not really large enough to be
worth librarizing right now.
