I guess that makes sense (but in some ways it seems a bit backwards -- English doesn't have extended characters (with rare exceptions, and in those cases it's usually a reflection of the foreign origin of the word, so accents are often dropped). But I can see that since these extended characters are not "English", one could also argue that they should sort differently (or sort different, if you're a Mac user :->) from non-accented characters.
Thanks,
