     As a matter of fact, French aren't the only ones to decide if
cedilla could be abolished or not.  This accent is used in other Roman
languages, eg Portugese, as well, and ç has the same phonetic value in
those languages.

     On the other hand, in almost all situations, except ê, circumflex
can be omitted because it's just reminescences of 's' from Latin and
Greek.
