[Alain] Yes, but in general it is a pity that in spite of Unicode, we are
still bound to the ASCII répertoire in most cases... ): It is like
continuing to use ox-driven vehicles while ultra-efficient cars are, for
most of them, in showrooms because highly-skilled drivers are reluctant to
use them because they are dangerous for the oxen... That is the Internet
email paradigm today, a sacro-sanct ox-driven protocol in a hi-tech world.
