Thanks, Stephane, for the response. If we were to expand pere-noel to
all of its accented variants (using your table of accented letters),
we would end up with a rather large set, even though only one of them
is the correct spelling (père-noël). I'm sure this has already been
discussed within the .fr community, but would you bundle *all* of
those variants, or would you bundle *only* pere-noel and père-noël,
and then *block* the rest? And have you discussed DNAME?
