Today I've faced a new problem: I´ve documented a connection string to a 
wiki, and "Driver=Firebird/InterBase(r) driver" gets transformed to 
"Driver=Firebird/InterBase® driver". I´ve copied such string to my app 
config, and took me several minutes until I´ve found the problem. I´ve 
checked the other odbc driver names I have on my PC, and none includes 
"special chars". Another reason to change the name ... :)
It's fine if I create a suggestion on the tracker?

Regards!
