are legitimate. How would you feel if
there was a user option to edit in "broken UTF-8
mode"? Then when you edited a page, you could insert
some markup to put in non-ASCII characters. I don't
know what the best way to do this would be; I am
guessing something like \xAB\xCD where \x means "an 8
bit value in hexadecimal representation follows". If
you have any other ideas, let me know.
This could not make it in french. We have accentuated
letters in an awful number of words. That would make
editing very difficult.
What if we had a TeX mode for diacritics? TeX makes it fairly easy to
put diacritic marks over and under letters. This isn't meant to be the
default editing mode, just a mode for people with broken browsers.
