I have a grabber ready to be committed for trunk (after 0.23 is
official) that uses yr.no, which covers pretty much the entire world.
I am using UTF-8, and still need to double-check it with accented
characters.  If mythweather does not accept UTF-8 right now, it will
very soon.

Also, please be sure to ensure that any grabber you create adheres to
the terms of service for the data provider.  If it doesn't, it most
certainly will not be accepted into the repository.  Just a heads up.
