For those of us who can only barely make sense of the Swedish language: Background according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_alphabet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_alphabet : Until recently the letter ‹w› was treated as a variant form of ‹v› at least for sorting purposes, and this practice is still commonly encountered. However, in 2005 the Swedish Academy separated the two letters in conformity with international lexicographic practice. They appear under separate headings in the 13th edition of Svenska Akademiens Ordlista, released on 10 April 2006.[1] ‹w› has nonetheless been an official letter in the Swedish alphabet, but sorted as if it were a ‹v›. The loanword webb is a word which has become rather common in Swedish since 1995. From what I can gather from the linked post, this decision to include W was made on the 3rd of March 2005.
