One of the stupider ISO decisions, as English supports no accents, except in loanwords, and they are just ignored, except possibly in academic publishing. I think it is time native English language speakers push back against and ignore decisions made by international committees of non-native English language speakers, to try and change what native English language speakers use to what the foreign language uses in Latin alphabet transliterations, just as the other 100+ countries who have no "official" transliteration do. -- Take care.
