Actually, thanks to URLs and email addresses, which can and do contain *all* ASCII characters, in practice full 7-bit ASCII coverage is required for writing *any* contemporary language. Only Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians, Etruscans, etc. still get away without email ... :) In addition, UCS specifically states that no UCS subset should exclude the Basic Latin range of U0020-U007e. Therefore, the ASCII coverage of Michael Everson's alphabet list should more be seen as an academic curiosity, and not as relevant to implementations. Markus -- Markus G.
