   Thank you for this info. IMO the fact that characters in use are still 
inconsistent is a good argument for normalization. This is the approach that I 
attempted with the pull request to snowball.
   
   A quick test of `site:ro` query from google, + sampling each result shows a 
lot more inconsistency. It still leans towards the s-comma/t-comma, though. So 
I think we are doing the right thing.
