Actually I wrote "Ant", o acute, "nio" in a UTF-8 encoded message. So
here is another reason for diacritic folding: to avoid one's messages,
and potentially also web pages etc, being munged by non-Unicode
compatible software. But I don't think this is a good reason, and
certainly not one which should be used as a justification for the
folding within Unicode!
