"seems" is the operative word there. External forces on the Unicode Consortium to change names will be stronger than those to change (or remove) a codepoint. Further, the use of codepoints or names is to help the reader find the points in various lists and web sites. Codepoints are more likely to get them to the right place. --Paul Hoffman -- rswg mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
