[Qgis-developer] Accented characters in DBF column names

Hi all,
apparently QGIS desktop accepts (ugly) accented characters as column
names for shapefile dbf, and everything seems to work smoothly. The same
files however are not displayed in QGIS sever when that field is used
for classification. I have clear accented chars should not be used, bnut
the current behaviour seems surprising, and should better be avoided. Am
I wrong? Opinions?
All the best.
