Interesting...it appears you've hit a difficult to encode value, which I
thought should be impossible based on the existing bounds params, but I'm
definitely able to reproduce this. Taking a look now.

Ah, there are some normals with very large values, like:
vn -65.964500 26.871040 -325.114197
And the quantization code assumes that normal components are in [-1, 1]. On one
hand, it is probably a good idea to be able to preserve the actual inputs. On
the other hand, the easy thing is to just automatically normalize vn inputs.
I'm leaning to the latter. Any thoughts?

Normalization is probably the way to go. Is the magnitude of the normal vector
ever actually used in ANY 3D render? I will ask about this from my source as
well.

It might matter if you want to interpolate normals before normalizations. You
can use the magnitude of the normal to act as a weight. I agree it is not
obvious. I'm about to land the feature, and when I go through and hook up
flags, then I'll have it default to normalize, but have it be switchable.
