This is the only approach that can actually work, because every
language has different conventions on how to represent text without
diacritics.
For example, in Spanish, "ü" (u with umlaut) should be represented as
"u", but in German, it should be represented as "ue".
pingüino -> pinguino
Frühstück -> Fruehstueck
I'd like that web applications (e.g. blogs) took into account these
conventions when creating URLs from the title of an article.
