I think another reason, in addition to all the reasons you gave for what
you suggest. I.e.  "first is the diplomatic transcription"  and only then
to create a "normalized" file, is that deciding whats normal is sometimes a
judgement call . There may be more than one norm. For example:
Monier-Williams dictionary has pattra and chattra but Apte's dictionary has
patra and chatra .
