Not only that, but some characters should be stripped out, as
in "pe-nis", while others should be converted to other
characters, as in "p3nis" or "penís". Sometimes "0" is
inserted into the middle of a word, but sometimes it
substitutes for an "o". Sometimes "." is used to separate
words, and sometimes it interrupts a word -- should it be
stripped out or changed into a space? Sometimes multiple
characters are substituted for a single letter ("se><").
Sometimes one letter is substituted for another ("PayPaI").
Sometimes the same character is used in different words to
represent different letters ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]").
The solution is anything but simple.
