To be more precise, could you then agree to the suggestion
that uppercase accented letters should be discouraged in
URLs intended for a general "France-French" audience, given
as an example of how case might affect URLs, the reason for
this being the current widespread use of keyboards that make
it difficult to enter such characters?
