Never mind if you are in Greece, Russia...

I think there has to be a compromise here.

I think the simplest solution is to use exact string matching (no
normalisation of special/extended characters). So if you've tagged
Bjork as Bjork it will find Bjork (but not Björk) and display Bjork.
If you've tagged Björk it will find and display Björk but not Bjork.


If you have Bjork and Björk they will be 2 artists.

This way, the user is in complete control, the software is not trying
to outsmart them (and failing) and any problems are easy to find and
fix.

Heck - it even makes the code SIMPLER! :-)
