 Hi there.

 Spanish users have some problems with permalink/slug creation.
 Here we use '¿' and '¡' as common characters. This characters are not
 included in ''urldecode'' function, so they appear as-is.

 If I write as title:

 {{{
 ¿Animación compartida en España?
 }}}

 the slug/permalink will be:

 {{{
 ¿animacion-compartida-en-espana
 }}}

 Sadly, this character brokes FeedBurner catcher and our customers are not
 very happy.

 We have tried to do a personalized function and used it in the filter:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'editable_slug', 'slughish_url');
 }}}

 but it doesn't work (it returns a changed ñ->n,  which is not specified in
 the function, and returns ''c2bf'' for ''¿'').

 Any ideas?
