I asked (following a posting about the ISO Latin 1 alphabet):

>>Since when has French used umlaute?

and Bob Goudreau replied, saying:

>For quite a long time.  For example, "Citro\:en", "Saint-Sa\:ens", "No\:el",
>where "\:e" stands for umlaut-e.

Err, those aren't umlaute, (well, at least not in my book), they're
diaereses: marks to indicate that adjacent vowels should be pronounced
separately.  I believe my question still stands.
