Comment (by knutsp):

 In domains, Norwegian muncipalities transliterate `ø` to `o`. "Løten" has
 domain `loten.kommune.no`. This continues even after IDN was introduced.

 The Swedish character `ö` is similar to the Norwegian/Danish `ø`. When `ö`
 becomes `o` then `ø` should also become `o`. If Swedish `å` should become
 `a` then Norwegian/Danish `å` (exact same character as the Swedish one)
 should also become `a`.

 ä -> a  (Swedish)
 æ -> ae (Danish/Norwegian)
 ö -> o  (Swedish)
 ø -> o  (Danish/Norwegian)
 å -> a  (Swedish/Danish/Norwegian all common)

 This is still a WONTFIX to me.
