Subject: Re: Danish Characters in Ruby Uri

They may not necessarily be 'legal' nevertheless they
will turn up from time to time, particularly in
camelcased wiki & twiki links in Denmark, which is why
I need to be able to get them :) But you're right, it
isn't a fix, it is indeed the correct way of doing it,
but I was so happy to be able to kiss the problem
goodbye that I allowed a little terminological
inexactitude to creep in in my enthusiasm for the
resolution :)
