Dennis, I cannot speak to future features of JAWS and do not work for Freedom Scientific. I just am a fellow user and member of this list. But UEB stands for Unified English Braille. It is a new standard in Braille production that is coming to North America, as per a ruling made a couple of years ago by the Braille Authority of North America. The UEB code is meant to accommodate literary, scientific, mathematical, and computer notation--all in one system. You can read about specifications for the new code at http://www.brailleauthority.org/ueb.html, from where you can get a book called "The ABCs Of UEB" by Constance Risjord. Sounds as if all of us who are dedicated to using Braille will need to get onboard with this in the next couple of years, as more and more publications become transcribed in this format.
