The normalise function is _not_ supposed to return a vector of unit length for
the zero element of the vector space! Mapping 0 to 0 is the most reasonable
mapping. Translation, e.g., 0 -> (0,0,1), has nothing to do with
normalisation! Of course this applies to all floating point representations
of the zero element, i.e., all vectors of length below a certain threshold.
