One further thing I’m thinking about is the naming of the package. The directory on CTAN is called “unicode”. However, the package is installed in tex/latex/ucs and the top-level style file is ucs.sty. Dominique Unruh explains the reason for this in the FAQ file as follows: > I started with unicode.sty, but there was an name clash with > Sebastian Rahtz' jadetex/passivetex package. And I think, applying > to practical solutions like this one, it is OK to use Unicode and UCS > as synonyms. (UCS is an ISO standard, which has goals similar to those > of Unicode, both standards agreed to stay compatible.) Still, I think it is confusing that the name of the package is somehow both unicode and ucs. I wonder whether it is sensible to always call the package “ucs”, in particular, to rename the directory on CTAN from “unicode” to “ucs”. Is this possible and feasible? What do you think?
