Re: BibTeX-mode: Key generation when latin-1 characters appear in author field

[Richard Stallman]

    There is international/iso-cvt.el which translates (La)TeX and HTML
    files to ISO 8859-1 and back. However, I think this package does not
    work beyond ISO 8859-1. At least, it would be necessary to provide
    the appropriate conversion tables. Furthermore, it seems to me that
    this package is not actively maintained. I just discovered that in
    CVS emacs the docstring of the autoloaded command iso-iso2duden is
    definitely wrong, as it was already in GNU emacs 20.6.1. Is anybody
    using this package?

It does not surprise me that it isn't maintained.  But if you want a
feature like this, it seems to me you may as well maintain and extend
iso-cvt.el rather than write something new.
