Ah, you're right of course. I was confusedly thinking of the recent case where we put some `hcode` requests into en.tmac to make some accented letter equivalent to their Basic Latin counterparts since no English hyphenation rule depends on the presence of a diacritical mark. (Perhaps not true? Maybe the New Yorker dieresis should?) Sorry for my confusion. Regards, Branden
