Multiple blockquotes + non-ASCII implicit links

Markdown 1.0 b4 renders the following Markdown text... :

   Hérna eru [sönnunargögn] um það. bla, bla.

   [sönnunargögn]: http://www.example.com/

as:

   Hérna eru [sönnunargögn] um það. bla, bla.

Are non-ASCII characters (`ö` for example) not allowed in implicit link 
tokens, or have I encountered a bug?

Also, today I wanted to display two seperate blockquotes one after the 
other in a piece of text I was writing.
To do this, I wrote in Markdown:

   > "This is the first quotation."

   > "This is another, seperate, quotation."

And what I got was:

   <blockquote>
     <p>"This is the first quotation."</p>
     <p>"This is another, seperate, quotation."</p>
   </blockquote>

But what I wanted was something like this:

   <blockquote>"This is the first quotation."</blockquote>
   <blockquote>"This is another, seperate, quotation."</blockquote>

My thinking was, that if I left an empty line between the two `>` 
quotations, I'd get two `<blockquote>`s, but if I wanted one 
`<blockquote>` with two paragraphs I should seperate them with a line 
that contained only a `>` at the beginning - like this:

   > "This is the first quotation."
   >
   > "This is another, seperate, quotation."

This seemed to me to be very much 'email-like'.
So I wonder, Is this behaviour a bug or a feature?
