They use the old roman name?.  Ach, i'm sick that only words like
»Kindergarten« and »Blitzkrieg« go the other direction ;
Not at last because all germans born in between 1940 and 1980 have
been socialized with the best film of all times [1], called »Die
Brucke« in English (not even freedom of art..).

But this is all blabla.
Except that maybe tz should be converted to UTF-8 so that at least
the comments won't mutilate names of reporters etc. in the future,
and could thus mention the real name »Büsingen« just as is, with the
zone name being whatever fits best in ASCII filename.
Using HTML entities does not seem to be a good solution to me.
