Hi list! Here's a description of a method for a slightly better workaround:
http://www.peterbe.com/plog/unicode-to-ascii This way, accented letters such as å, ö, ï will become a, o, i, making the ids a bit more recognizable for some languages. Characters such as ¿ and œ will still get deleted, though.
