Great move, though I feel like this is going to cause some headaches for folks who live there. A lot of websites use alphanumeric fields for addresses and will likely reject attempts to use characters outside of the Latin alphabet. Hard enough to even get some websites and digital services to recognize people's names with accent marks.
