We're Dutch, and the é is part of our language, and even part of the legacy character encoding standard everyone used before Unicode's widespread adoption. This is just a matter of code that works perfect as long as all characters are part of the ASCII set, but fails on the characters that don't conveniently match between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-15.
I doubt these issues will go away within even, say, twenty years.
