Hi Pihilip,
Thoughout, my programming life and experience I have learned
that internal structure means nothing, as long as the result is correct
when it comes out.
As you rightfully point out the problem lies inside how TeX internally
handles space characters when adding them to its internal
Hi All,
Sorry, I go OT here, but in order to debate it is necessary.
Please forgive.
I have to side more with Philip.
What most are forgetting is what (Xe)TeX is intended for.
It is for most a typesetting program(you do mention this below).
It was not designed to handle different languages or

Hi all,
I agree with Keith, I have just a few comments.

I admit that things could be done better than in nowadays TeX but its
complete revamping seems to me as bad investment. I would rather think
of an FO processor.
And I agree with Zdeněk : this discussion will be productive only
if we focus on what can be accomplished

Yes, that's the point. The goal of TeX is nice typographical
appearance. The goal of XML is easy data exchange. If I want to send
structured data, I send XML, not PDF.
These days people want both.
One question which pops up regularly
Is it safe to assume that these code listings
are restricted to the ASCII character set ? If
so, yes, spaces are likely to be a problem, but
if the code listing can also include ligature-
digraphs, then these are likely to prove even
more problematic.

You are probably a little young to know this, but TeX's original output
format was a dvi file.
I think I'll have this one framed and sent to Ross for his next
birthday.

Yet, it remains one of the most
powerful and cheapest typesetting systems to date.
Cheap in terms of initial investment -- surely, as it's open-source
and free.
Cheap in terms of implementing -- not quite so, because you need to
format your sources in a very specific, isolated syntax.
