And why don't you simply write ä, ö, ü then? If you have to
use those nasty ALT+0XXX combinations or need to stack
accents on umlauted letters, which is only possible using
Unicode AFAIK, you shall be forgiven. ;-) It's just that
using too many apostrophies looks a little artificial if
there are no glottal stops.
