As you may be aware, the org-name attribute in the organisation object doesn't support non-ASCII characters such as "ö" (umlaut).

This presents an issue as for certain entities where that is part of the legal name and thus not being able to represent the legally registered name.

I would like to ask the working group if this is something we consider a real problem or just a thing that will stay like this.

I have 2 proposed solutions, either use Latin-1 for the org-name which would fix my issue but not all issues, however may be the only possible solution currently as the database uses Latin-1, alternative just use UTF-8.

My personal example is my name being represented as "Revstrom" instead of "Revström" in the database, this makes it so you might not be able to search for the name registered in the database in government registers etc.
