The keys are all trimmed, but in a multilingual environment (which is not
uncommon on that website) non-ASCII characters could occur. I'll have
another think about that pattern, but since the ordinary string library is
UTF8-agnostic, there may not be much I can do about it. The locale
concept for %w only works in an 8-bit setting like ISO-8859.
