<DIV>Your final point is very cogent, and the instructions for typing these
letter-diacritic combinations would need to cover:</DIV>
<DIV>-- several versions of Windows,</DIV>

<DIV>As an informal ad-hockery for the diaresis, might we recommend <vowel +
colon>, or could that be confused with the IP notation for a long vowel? If
that combo isn't acceptable, we should recommend something else, I believe,
rather than leave it for users to improvise.</DIV><BR>
