Using the "allemanic" umbrella (like Wikipedia does) always seemed strange to 
me, as it encompasses Alsacian (France), Badisch and Schwabisch (Germany), 
Voralberg (Austria), "Swiss German", and others, which are rather different 
dialects, so in practice you can only write in one variant of these dialects.
