In the xml, I use the proper utf-8, which shows up in full glory in the html. For the ascii version, I concur with Randy's opinion that it makes the most sense to sacrifice the accents, a service that xml2rfc does very effectively. My apologies to French speakers (and, of course, my repeated apologies to any citizens of Freedonia as well).
