To my esteemed British correspondents: Could you please explain why 
the English name "Featherstone" is pronounced "Fanshaw"?

I suggest we start by explaining why Worcester, MA is 
pronounced "Wooster".

I grew up 30 miles east of Worcester. It is pronounced "wista!" (We
Bostonians drop our r's.)

English orthography is broken. We're not going to fix it in XSL.
