Are extended ASCII chars [äöå] allowed in URLs?

I have seen some websites that use äöå-characters in their slugs (they don't convert them to aoo). So what's the case?

Åå (as in affOrd), Ää (as in Air), and Öö (as in gIrl) are our lovely Swedish additions to the latin alphabet. Nowadays, these can even be used in domain names (at least under the .SE top-level domain). See, for instance, http://www.linköping.se. Of course, this is an example of an IDN.
