I had missed that step and had not had time to try.

Thanks to this feature and to utf8accents.sty, it's possible to write 
documents fully compatible with standard TeX (apart from font switches) 
so that, in case of last-minute problems at 23:55 on the day before a 
deadline (shit does happen!), one can still revert to standard TeX as a 
backup.

Thanks to you and Ross,

Bruno
