In fact, I am much more of an optimist than you. Because I believe that inherent limitations such as the length of domain names or the set of characters mail gateways can handle will inevitably be fixed to meet the demand. Also you seem to have discovered that Unicode itself was not optimally ordered, right? And some of the discussions in this wg indicate that Unicode's handling of CJK may be flawed as well. I would prefer to take the long view and work to get those problems corrected, even if it means wearing other hats and going to other organizations to do these things. Basically, this wg has gone way too far in the direction of trying to fix things that should be fixed elsewhere. Bruce
