    However xrefs don't work

I'm going to be gone for a couple of days.  Maybe Stepan or someone else
can make a patch.

I fear that this is all leading nowhere, however.  Even if we somehow
special cased the accent commands so that they were really supported,
the next problem would be that hyphenation didn't work.  And I feel sure
there are other problems as well.

The only real way to support languages other than English is to allow
real 8-bit input, I think, so preaccented letters can be used.  The
existing accent commands are just Knuth's kludge to allow accents in
occasional foreign words in English.

Thanks,
karl
