Comment (by dd32):

 > Also, if we decide to whitelist punctuation, we'll need to do it for all
 languages that require character counting. How crazy does that get?

 Given the little support in PHP for determining these things, we could
 always add a small subset which supports most languages, followed by a
 translatable string for translators to specify additional characters which
 should be considered punctuation?
