We have adopted a different approach in Romania: we usually don't use diacritics at all on the internet. It's not that hard to read the original word (though, I've heard it's pretty hard for foreigners that try to learn the language to understand what are we writing without them). Of course there are few words where it's harder to understand the original meaning, but the advantage of using plain ascii outnumbers it. We do have a local keyboard standard, just most of us don't use it when typing something that's not official. edit: I'm looking at my driving license and car registration certificate, there are no diacritics and they are official documents.
