There is "weight" in terms of bandwidth, but also in terms of mechanisms needed to interpret markup. It takes a lot more to handle HTML or XML than it does simply language tagging using plane 14 characters -- or some simpler form of markup than HTML / XML. I'm not trying to argue specifically in favour of the plane 14 characters, BTW. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
