The following is thus irrelevant, but let me nonetheless point out
that
non-latin1 letters make it impossible to type names on an arbitrary

whereas in the case of latin1 you simply drop the diacritical
symbols if you
don't find the letter on your keyboard (ü->u, ç->c etc.), making
the latter
much easier to handle for everybody. (Of course, the same argument
would also
rule out the German letter 'ß', let's just hope that it doesn't
appear in
anybody's name.)
You realize that vast areas of the earth are inhabited by people
who consider impaired writing of their names as personal offense?
And drop the ugly dot's above the u in your e-mail address please!
