Yeah, highly confusing that one as the TLD country code for sweden is .se --
but then the UK has TLD .uk, has a country code of gb, and the language is
en (or en_gb if you're being specific). I hate standards ;-)

So yeah, name:sv=Åbo. Unless it also happens to be that in the Northern Sami
language which actually has code se, which is entirely possible in finland,
but I wouldn't have a clue about that.
