We use different encodings.  Using Unicode would be the
way to handle this (any editor for Unicode available? :-)

The lists are sorted alphabetically too.  We would need
something that sorts Unicode depending on the language
used (not sure if that requirement contradicts Unicode).

Starting with one list per language would be the
pragmatic way.  This would reduce sorting mirrors/chapter.sgml
and the list of mirrors on the homepage.
