Michael,
I know this has been hashed over time and time again, and the answer has
been handed down as if by edict time and again, but _your_ attitude as
expressed below is taken by many who are not involved as rather arrogant. To
many people, it seems like the UNICODE has taken in hand to define

Don't know what the Unicode rules are, but the answer is no. The final
sigma form is not used if the sigma is in a medial position in the word but
at the end of the line (e.g., when it occurs at the point of hyphenation in
