There are other issues involved too. For instance, normalisation. Also the question of reading files - will the runtime auto-detect the encoding of the file, and translate to Unicode? How will applications find out what the original encoding was? How will applications be able to set the encoding for output files (for instance, ans XSLT processor, which I am planning to write in Haskell, must honour a request to write the output file in either utf-8 or utf-16)? I suspect a Unicode library will be needed. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
