You say this as if it's objective truth. Now, if I see Latin-script text with a diacritic comma above in some places but also a comma above and a little to the right, the correct vehicle to convey these "artifacts" is the pair of distinct characters, U+0313 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE and U+0315 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE RIGHT. Apparently, in the case of Latin, it was not considered an objective truth that the correct vehicle is markup. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
