Does that mean "they finally changed the database entries today, but they changed it to be in ISO 8859-1"?

If so, what do they propose to do about, say, the entry for TTC TELEKOMUNIKACE Ltd - Czech doesn't use ISO 8859-1; 
their address is
Třebohostická 987/5, 100 00 Praha 10, but there's no LATIN SMALL LETTER R with any diacritical mark in 8859-1, and, not 
surprisingly, whilst Safari, at least, either gets told that the page is in 8859-1 or infers it from the contents, and 
displays Jäger Computergesteuerte Messtechnik GmbH's entry correctly:

00-50-C2        (hex)           Jäger Computergesteuerte Messtechnik GmbH
0A2000-0A2FFF   (base 16)       Jäger Computergesteuerte Messtechnik GmbH
                                Rheinstraße 2-4
                                Lorsch Hessen 64653 
                                GERMANY

it displays TTC TELEKOMUNIKACE Ltd's address as junk:

00-50-C2        (hex)           TTC TELEKOMUNIKACE Ltd
3D7000-3D7FFF   (base 16)       TTC TELEKOMUNIKACE Ltd
                                T�ebohostick� 987/5, Prague 10
                                Prague  CZ-100 00
                                CZECH REPUBLIC
