I love LaTeX and BibTeX. But it's essentially English-based and its
handling of accented characters and such like is pretty poor. (eg.
G\"{o}del or \'{e}t\'{e}).

If you want a bibliographic format to last into the 21st century, I
would suggest that you look for something that supports Unicode - and
therefore Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Thai, ... etc alphabets.
