Hi all,

It includes examples, such as how "Queen Sonja" ends up being
converted as "After King Sonja".
Assuming the number 20,000 quoted in the "Statistics" section is accurate,
it does not
mean we need to have 20,000 entries in the database. For a lot of the
one-to-many mappings,
one of the "many" part occurs more often others, so a default rule to map
to that one character resolves a large portion of the problem.
But I don't have a good sense on what the actual number is and how good or
bad
the current situation is. The two examples you quoted should have been
resolved a long
time ago, though. If not, there are easy ways to fix them (in wiki fashion)
as described in
