Respectively from Latin Extended-B and Latin Extended-A. As I said,
there is no official policy on it, to the letter of the policy any
non-ASCII is currently forbidden.

I think defenitely Extended-A should be allowed, but don't know about
Extended-B, which contains mostly africa-specific characters, but also
for example the Macedonian/Serbian g with an acute accent. We shall not
know the details until policy has been decided, but I think all of it
should be allowed.

Note that there are bugs on policy from 2001 onwards for this issue,
#99933 for example. I have good faith something like this will be
accepted into policy post-sarge.
