The spaces of interval exchange maps and measured foliations are considered and an alternative proof that almost all interval exchange maps and measured foliations are uniquely ergodic is given. These spaces are endowed with a refinement process, called a simplicial system, which is studied abstractly and is shown to be normal under a simple assumption. The results follow and thus are a corollary of a more general theorem in a broader setting.
