I rather like to have the accents explicitly marked because in French at
least, the accents at times help to dispell ambiguity between similarly
(but for the accents) spelled words.

The sorting problem is indeed a minor bother.

In passing, would it be possible to provide, as a standard option, a field
for marking the language of the reference? This opens yet a further door:
if citation styles for the same documents differ as between languages,
would it be possible to provide for formating according to the style that
goes with the language of the reference?
