Well, that wins for 8859-1 and 8859-11 and ISCII-88, where Unicode copied existing layouts precisely. But it wouldn't help other 8859-x much if at all, and it requires binary search rather than direct array access, which would be a terrible lossage in CJK, where the real costs are. -- You are a child of the universe no less John Cowan than the trees and all other acyclic http://www.reutershealth.com graphs; you have a right to be here. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --DeXiderata by Sean McGrath [EMAIL PROTECTED]
