Comment (by tlamedia):

 Replying to [comment:36 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.

 So to make everyone happy we need to limit it to just da_DK
