Martin, I don't think we are so far off. My concern is that many people are abusing the term 'language' for these tables. I am just saying that creating exclusive subset of Latin characters in European context is not necessarily a bad idea but will result in future problems because they will always discover that few characters are missing from the subset.
It is reasonably easy for .de to establish a table as they did and again it is ok. It is much more challenging for a worlwide TLD such as .com to establish registration rules. Typically script is a much better selector than language to establish those tables and associated rules. And I was not talking about typesetting, thank you. Although it does not hurt to have some background in worldwide character set encoding. Michel
