A more fundamental (or perhaps "silly") question is if that "user would need to" is necessarily a bad thing. If the user wants to cleanse such abnormality in the recorded blobs, shouldn't there be a conscious act, iow, a commit that records that "I am fixing that mistake, and from now on, the recorded data are normalized"?

Perhaps I am missing something very trivial that you have already explained to the list but I forgot amid my moving and other confusion, and if that is the case I apologize in advance ;-).
