Colon is a punctuation mark in Swedish, but I still have it in my 
name, just like your example with "O'Brien" which have a "'" in the 
name I guess.

If you talk about matching and sorting the ':' is ignored just like 
'v' and 'w' in many cases are treated as the same character (if we 
talk about names).

Anyway, I feel that we dive into the localization issues, and I don't 
like that existing on this mailing list.
