Yes, that's right.

It is necessary - really, at least to meet the Norwegian standards. Let
me explain by an example:
Let's assume the following fictive URL: abc4braille.com. Following the
Norwegian standards for braille conversion, this should be converted
into: abc#d<letter sign>braille.com. Because of this way doing it, I
think there should be a combrlChangeTable solution. See?
