I suspect anyone who’s fluent in any Nordic language would strongly disagree with this guidance, which is what Asmus is hinting at.
I am fluent, and I don't strongly disagree with the guidance. It's not marvellously good, but it's not terrible either. Committee stuff. For example ø conventionally maps to oe, not o, but that's hardly a mistake worth getting excited about. Minor enough that the (very capable) .no TLD authority requires domain registrants to do the same, while acknowledging that it is unfortunate. Now, accepting mail fuzzily may be a bad idea, or a good idea, but if you disregard that general question, then the application to the Nordic letters isn't awful from a native-speaker perspective. The advice can be applied for other purposes where it's neutral or even a very minor feature. Recipient completion in a UI. Arnt
