   I spelled Bjorn's name using the ctl-148 produced character. As you can   
   see, it was changed to Bjoern, just like Robert Bashe said it would be.

   But it will end up being spelled in several different ways until everyone   
   turns on/off the 'convert umlaut' switch...FE provides a switch for that.

   And yet he declares utf-8 as being the way to read umlauted characters.
