No -- the problem is that you need different mappings for different
input languages.  See the message I just sent.

What about URLs that are in a document or database?

There's no "input language" for them. (Or not necessarily one).

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.

Whether such mapping would be sensitive to the *script* of some character found in the domain name, that's another matter.
