English isn’t one of the two ASCII-only languages. It's naïve to think that even American English is ASCII-only.

Good point! My native language is Australian English, not American English, and i would consider it incorrect to write 'naive' instead of 'naïve'; to me, the former is simply a kludge imposed by the limitations of ASCII.

Thanks to everyone who's commented on my question - it's been very educational. :-)
