Way too much effort for this.  Nice idea, might even be fun, but it's
just trying to avoid the common things, and I mainly wondered about
how often people whose keyboards have accents etc skip them if they
have the chance and what the repercussions would be.

We have people already who enter Brooklyn for their city instead of
New York, which might even be technically correct, but it doesn't
match anything else and we don't correct it because it doesn't happen
often enough.  There may be people in Louisiana who use the original
French spelling for all I know; we don't handle that either.  Or ditto
for Spanish names in the southwest that might have a tilde.
