I'm curious: why do you use this instead of crossrefs?  Does it work  
for any field?  (yeah, I could try that for myself...I'm lazy ;)

One advantage of crossrefs is that they are searched and displayed by  
BibDesk (and they were a real pain to implement).

As a side note, you may want to use {N{\'e}ron models} here.  ISTR  
that helps bibtex with sorting, but it also allows BibDesk to display  
the actual Unicode character.
