I suppose the "U" might make people think these experimental thingies have some official status with Unicode. Fair enough. What if we just don't call them UTFs? What about ETF-such-and-so, for Experimental Transformation Format? Or XTF. Yeah, "X". XML, XFL, X-Games, Gen-X, XTF. It's an X world out there. Building your own CESs and TESs can teach you a lot about Unicode and its "real" UTFs. Distinguish the real UTFs from the toys and the lab experiments, yes. Terminate all exploratory research, no. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
