AFAIK, nowadays in LaTeX, you're better off using "Grüß Gott" with the
proper input encoding.  For HTML mode as well.

Before trying to solve the problem for latin-1, then latin-2, then arabic,
then chinese, etc.. we'd better write a real fix that correctly (tho
suboptimally) handles all cases: drop non-ascii chars.  Then we can add
a preprocessing function that tries to be clever.
