for french, we should, imho.

well, then if you have 10 accented characters, you have to register every
combination... a lot of $$$ for the registries, but not very useful for the
user (both the registrant and the internet user that access that domain
name)... also, since the registrant wants all those combinations to be
equivalent, then he needs to synchronise all this data together, not
forgetting one. for example, if he wants to change its dns servers for
those domain names, then all should be changed.
