The Danes, over a decade ago, when they made the official recommendation to use SHY appear to have come to the conclusion that "AA" can never occur accidentally, except at word division in compounds.

Not really a safe conclusion. :)

Although I guess it depends on what the meaning of "aaccidental" is. The point here is that in citations of non-Danish names in Danish text, an "aa" can never be equated
to an å, but nor would you want to insert a SHY between the a's in that case
to distinguish the sequence.
