I've got a "very liberal" comparator in production at the Linux Counter 
project.

It mostly works, because the  people who assign names tend to not assign 
names that collide under the comparator.
But the strings that result from the comparator are quite distant from 
"expected" strings in many cases - in particular, "asciifying" Japanese 
with a heuristic that works OK for Chinese Mandarin gives output that's 
simply meaningless.

Better Than Nothing Matching......
