   That is correct. However:    
      
   1) The US keyboard doesn't easily allow for it   
      
   2) I don't care to type some kind of alt-key combination to produce diaereses   
   every time I want to type my name.   
      
   3) Whether I write it that way or not, most Americans don't realize what they   
   are actually there for (or even the definition of a diaereses and what it   
   actually means). All through life it has been pronounced "bowl" or something   
   random like that, unless they have actually asked myself, a family member, or   
   friend in the past.

   This 'loophole' was originally done for the ASCII nodelist, though, correct? I   
   seem to recall it being in the original nodelist long before it was an issue   
   in the UTF-8 version.
