Re: Updated: (LUCENE-1029) Illegal character replacements in ISOLatin1AccentFilter

This gets even more complicated when you throw Polish in. We
do have diacritics 
(such as ó, ż, ź or ą)

ex.htm

but we _also_ have things like "ł" (l with a
stroke):

ex.htm

I don't think the stroke in "ł" would qualify as
a diacritic mark... to me it's 
more like a different letter.

Anyway, most Poles are _very_ comfortable with writing
e-mails and querying 
search engines with stripped diacritics (and the letter ł
replaced by l) even if 
this often leads to change of meaning of the original word.
I guess it is so 
because typing diacritics slows you down a bit. Pragmatism.
