This is most likely a reliable prediction of the future: existing normalizations and not seen as doing it all, and other equivalence relations will be defined. The current problem with normalization and Hebrew vowel combinations might not be such a big deal if early normalization to NFC wasn't a W3C recommendation for W3C protocols, such as XML. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
