Just FYI: Handel translates to „Trade“ in German. I think you picked it to refer to the composer „Händel”, right? Anyway I expected something different after reading the name ;)


In English he is known as Handel. At least in Dublin anyway where he first performed his Messiah so it is somewhat canonical ...

Also apparently a naturalised British citizen without the umlaut [0]

EDIT check out his signature on [0] no umlaut so he was Handel even to himself!

For what its worth, Handel means "trade" in Swedish as well, but I instantly thought of the composer when I saw the name.


Ever tried putting an umlaut in a URL?


Yes, I do that regularly and it works as one would expect. What are you trying to bring up?


Well most of the planet wouldn’t know how if you paid them to


RFC 3987 never really caught on.
