Thanks tedd, The real question is whether unicode is even relevant now that the UTF series is available. I see no reason to have to deal with two competing "specifications", when one of them is more than adequate for the job and the other is not even finished yet. That's like the old days when a few users demanded we support both ASCII and EBCDIC. That didn't get very far either.
