Don't worry, I know nothing about the history etc. of unicode and I'm not proposing any change to the existing meaning of it in any way. No one would even dream of taking any notice of me in any case.
I cannot speak for Thomas when it comes to unicode matters (or about anything for that matter) but it's obvious that he is a man of many talents and that he is deeply involved in unicode. Where I was coming from was in the rendering arena. I noted in my 'brainstorm' that any fine-tuning of rendering by the author would need to be stored as parameters somehow and somewhere. This would not mean any change to the character encoding standard, but more of an attachment that would indicate to the renderer how the author wants the writing to look. I'm just sharing with people a dream of being able to represent arabic in beautiful way on the computer.
