I wonder if there is a reasonable key combination to type an acute
accent (0xb4) on a (us) keyboard. If so, it wouldn't hurt to mention it.

I wonder if a bug should be filed on policy to get its exceessive use of
`foo' and even ``bar'' corrected to `foo´ (or 'foo') and "bar", too. 
The page is pretty convincing..
