I’m not quite sure I understand when I have to provide the ascii=“” attribute.

I can have authors that have umlauts without further ado.
If I have organizations with umlauts, I need to put in ascii=“”, or I get:

t2trg-sworn.xml(20): Error: Found non-ascii content without matching ascii attribute in <organization>: Universit?t Bremen TZI

(Note also that the error message has some mojibake.)
