Only if you use IDNL, but anyway your examples are not about domains but URLs.

Yes, because as I have explined earlier ae IS the correct way for written 
German.

I'm not sure what Johannes is exactly trying to do, but it seems that it 
has nothing trying to do with normal German spelling.

And I do care about i18n, so I'll think about a solution, that makes it 
easy to manage the transliteration.

Currently there is only one master routine for a complete TYPO3 
installation, that is used for all kind of stuff. Perhaps it would be nice 
to use different "settings" so to get ä=>ae for German URLs but ä=>a for 
those "tagwords".

Another problem is of course the obvious language dependency (eg Finnish vs 
German), but it gets worse with languages written in Cyrillic (and then it 
even begins to be a matter of style!).
