TpAccount::normalized-name doesn't mention that this is what laymen often refer to as JID. Might be nice.
More precisely, it's whatever the account's protocol normally uses as a unique identifier for a user/contact: on XMPP it's the JID, on MSN it's the Passport, on IRC it's the nick, and so on.
Someone fixed this in or before 0.16.0.
