Comment (by dnusim):

 -1 to fixing this for Danish only. The use of these characters is exactly
 the same in Norwegian – and, as far as I know, in every other language
 using these characters as well.

 In the Swedish Wikipedia article about the letter Å, it says that {Å} is
 transliterated to {{{Aa}}} in Swedish passports. It would be good if a
 swede could make a comment – so far we've only heard from danes and
 norwegians.

 If I understand you correctly, knutsp, everyone agrees on what is the
 correct way to transliterate {{{æøå}}} in Danish and Norwegian (though you
 find the correct way to be impractical).
