   I know this is a little out of the original discussion, but I think
the right solution must be to redefine the ASCII-Alphabet or making a
new character-standard. Thus allowing *ALL* characters used in countries
using latin letters.

   The convention could be that the special letters might be integrated
in the existing alphabet - Thus (icelandic) "d" (-d) is placed before "e" 
and after "d".

   If such a standard could be made and be accepted then we would all
have the special characters to play with. And not be satisfied with having
only ae /o oa  or { | } but not both....
