BTW: Anyone with a passport has already an official international spelling of their name provided in there, which uses only the ASCII subset available in the OCR-B font used to print visa and other travelling documents. It seems very sensible to me to restrict Unix user identifiers and email addresses to the same subset. Use UTF-8 only in the full names. Markus -- Markus G.
