Hi Guys,

 This is Nori. I'm new here, and assume that my last post on
plucker-dev has been sent here, and there had been some discussions.
 Because my post was sent before start of subscription, actually I
didn't think my mail was accepted without subscription, I have not 
read all of mails following mine. 
 Last night I got an e-mail from Mr. Matsumoto, who is an author
of Japanese(Internationalizing?) patches, and discussed about what I
can do for plucker dev. and how it should be, and then I decided to
join this dev-ml. ;-)

 Anyway I have some questions, If you guys could answer these to me, I
would be appreciated!

 - <UL> seems transferred 'middle dot'(0xb7) on Palm Viewer, but
unfortunately Palm official Japanese-OS(which is not hack version),
can not draw the character correctly. I tried to look into source
files of viewer, but have not found lines which draw the character. I
and Mr. Matsumoto guess there is translation from <UL> to 'middle dot'
somewhere in parser codes. Would you point it to me?

 - 'stayonhost' keyword is supposed not to work sometimes. If 'href'
type links like '/images/black.gif' are found in html, parser thinks
it's on outside server because the name of server is '', and failed
when compare to the server name. My question is, is this what you(we)
want? or bug?

 - Sometimes fetch to '://www.foo.com/images.gif', which does not have
protocol name, does not work. I have made workaround which adds
'http' before '://' if there is no protocol name, and seems working. I
tried to deeply dive in to retriever of parser, but have not done
it. Is this a bug? 

 - I modified parser to convert text lines in HTML page to Shift JIS
code, which is only usable on Japanese Palm device, before making a pdb
file. That works for Japanese document fine, but I'm wondering how
support for multiple languages(international characters) should
be. I'm far from expert of this kind of stuffs, does somebody know
about this? Or are we happy if I would add a new option in parser like
'-sjis' which always converts characters to Shift JIS code.

Thanks,
