00D8: O better than OE
00F8: o better than oe
This seems wrong to me. Is OE different than AE? One would never write
"Asop's Fables".
00C5: A better than AA
00E5: a better than aa
I feel like I've seen AA and aa an awful lot, but maybe just as TeX
control sequences :).
Please tell if you have an argument
against or for a given transliteration,
There are a number which translate a letter to all uppercase, as in:
00DE Th -> TH (THORN)
Although "TH" might be a better translation of the individual letter
Thorn when used by itself, I surmise that "TH" would be really wrong
when used at the beginning of an actual word, as in "THorn" (I don't
know a real word :). So the mixed-case mappings seem preferable to me.
I have no particular comment on the others, not having delved deeply
into this ...
Thanks,
Karl
