I don't know of any that do at the moment - though I haven't exactly scoured the whole list of UAs at this point. Sorry to interrupt this discussion, I originally missed it because it ended up in my spam folder for some strange reason. I am using a Mac. On Mac, Unicode normalization gives me e' for é while most other systems will give me é. So if I start authoring on my Mac for instance a document and have to use a corporate stylesheet made on a PC, both instances using class "barré", do I take the risk of having my styles not applied ? If the answer is yes, it's unacceptable, even the input method or the OS is guilty. The user cannot have to worry about that and must be provided with a workable solution. A solution that chokes on acute e in french is not workable, even in the name of purity of the solution. </Daniel>
