One the other hand, dropping diacritics from names or text written in all uppercase is considered acceptable in Quebec French (and I suspect also in France) dating from old addressograph technology and billing typewriter technology where capital letters alone were available and diacritics were not normally included as part of the character set.
Then you have the old problem: what does � LE PRESIDENT ASSASSINE � mean if such a practice is employed?
