That may be, but if you have a text that has "mi nélci lo brívla ki'u lo
du'u mi gérku" and you search for "gerku" - will your search algo find
it? or treat it as a non-match?
Will you find "gerku" in "mi nElci lo brIvla ki'u lo du'u mi gErku"? I
would think so. Also, the stress is basically only ever interesting if
you have spaceless text, but then you have considerably more problems
(for example the huge lynch mob in front of your gate).
Now, i agree, that á looks a bit nicer, but this argument you brought
forth is not a good one.
