There are more than two, at least for Greek and Cyrillic. Those in the Far Eastern charsets could be unified too if anyone cared. This issue clearly doesn't apply only to the Unicode charsets, and, as a user, I don't think it's much of a problem in practice. EZ> What can I say except ``volunteers are welcome...'' etc.?

That view is unfair to the people who have done lots of work, himi in particular. `Working on Unicode support' in my book isn't restricted to implementing an apparently-unnecessary, disruptive, incompatible change to the internal encoding, even if it's what one wants ideally. - Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
