I don't know, the TeX thing is a kludge as a whole, so "correct" isn't
very tightly defined. I suppose it's better than what we have now, though. 


incidentally, you can also do something like
  
 <<
    \new Staff {
        c' d' e' f'
    }
    \addlyrics {
         \encoding "latin1"
         Ár -- víz -- tû -- rõ.
    }
    \addlyrics {
        \encoding "TeX"
        \'Ar -- v\'iz -- "t\H{u}" -- "r\H{o}"
    }
 >>
