That isn't necessarily a problem given that the fundamental assumption of PUA characters is that their semantics is determined by prior agreement of the parties involved in interchange. As a solution for unencoded characters, it has some shortcomings (and it's possible to imagine other solutions to the problem), but it can be useful if users understand the limitations. BTW, Christian, I have continued to be interested in where TEI goes with this issue as it's still an issue I need to deal with for other contexts, though I haven't had any opportunity to give any time to it. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
