I must say my opinion is closer to the first Olivier enumerates : standardised latin, with æ, œ, ǽ, œ́, i instead of j, and accents only on words that have three syllabes or more. In my humble opinion, accents on disyllabes are quite "heavy". If we respect the rules of each source, we would logically have to make several versions, according to various sources.
But i'll obviously follow common rules when there are ! 2013/5/22 Olivier Berten <[email protected]> > Well...
