Yes, that is an excellent point! That would be yet another usage (and one that I dealt with with in my former, pre-Microsoft life).

But I limited myself to meanings that I have been exposed to since I came to Microsoft, and none of them brought that one up.

Plus, I figured it did not really help the point of the article much since database normalization is ever further from the dictionary definitions. :-)

In relational database design, the process of organizing data to minimize redundancy. Normalization usually involves dividing a database into two or more tables and defining relationships between the tables.
