The fact that we use unicode internally does not change Knuth's TeX engine. It is still 7bit only, not even latin1 or something like that. Therefore, the catcode table needs only to have 128 entries. Everything not in that range is catOther. I guess that it has currently 256 entries because that avoided the if clause in pre-unicode times, and the additional memory was negligible. Now we can't do without the if clause anymore as Asger pointed out, and then we can as well reduce the table to only cover the pure ASCII range. Georg
