Sarah,

Thanks for the response, and thanks for the answer on the forum too :)

I disagree that make_standard_string() needs to work for all major 
languages.  I mean it does, but you should know the language ahead of 
time.  Since the problem of standardizing words is language related, can 
you first use the HTTP header Accept-Language to pick the language (or 
use geoip), and then standardize according to rules of that language?

Brian
