No -- the problem is that you need different mappings for different

<p>What about URLs that are in a document or database?</p>
<p>There's no "input language" for them. (Or not necessarily one).</p>
<p>I think for things like separators, the only thing that works is
a generic set of acceptable ones that will be converted, so that
no matter from where you access a URL it will work the same.</p>
<p>Whether such mapping would be sensitive to the *script* of some
character found in the domain name, that's another matter.<br>
