That's not a diacritic. Å and A are entirely different letters in Norwegian (in much the same way that Ñ is a letter and not N with an accent in Spanish).

Pronounced effectively "Oh" and "Ah" respectively.

1.  That's a distinction that doesn't really persuade me.  I'd say that the letters Å and Ñ are formed by adding a diacritic to a glyph.  Even if they're separate letters, the little doodad is still a diacritic.  In my book, at least.

2.  If anything, you just proved my point even further.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Trying to think of other four letter control cities -- Erie, Elko, Reno. Sure I'm missing a few.

As I despise control states, I will forget you said that. :) Iowa would apply too.

Do control cities need to be the same for exits of both directions of the road you are already on?

No, I don't think I've ever seen that restriction in the MUTCD, and the current MUTCD even includes a figure showing an example of the same exit having different destinations in each direction.
Control cities CAN be off the route! Control cities make NO sense if signs end before the city is reached!
