When non ASCII names will finally work?

By using my name in various web services I usually spot bad implementation of displaying name field in their website. I can see that over years the amount of servers which cripple my name to something like ÄŒihaÅ™ is getting lower, but there are still lots of them. When I find way how to report it, I usually do so and I always enjoy fields like "How to repeat". This time the guilty one is the MySQL bugtracker.

PS: Fortunately all Debian pages seem to catch up this year and my name is no longer crippled in NEW queue or Lintian pages :-).
