The problem here is that E and É are the same letter with different accents but N and Ñ are two entirely different letters. As a classic example, ano (anus) is a different word from año (year). Unfortunately, there's that whole Unicode issue screwing things up. Ñ is properly pronounced as an n and a y jammed together, so if we want to transliterate piñata properly into ASCII, it ought to be pinyata which looks weird even to English eyes. I don't think there's an ideal solution to this issue currently so this BUR is probably the best we can do. :/

Sorry, it appears I was misinformed. According to Kira, Unicode tags are not currently causing bugs, however they are still being replaced either way due to unrelated issues.
