It is the de-facto standard in this country that data transferred to a Web
server via forms is expected to be in logical format, even if the HTML
pages containing the forms use a visual encoding. The reason,
preponderance of Windows-based browsers using standard Windows controls
for implementing forms, may not be politically correct in this list, but
doing anything else is ignoring the reality of most Hebrew Web sites.
