Ciao PMario & TonyM

I'm pretty sure that when Unicode started in 1991  
<http://www.unicode.org/history/>there was no idea that the characters 
would often get later "hi-jacked" for purposes never intended!

What we have in Unicode is a very vigorous standard that is then partially 
trashed FROM LACK OF ATTENTION TO THE NET AS AN EMERGENT SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE. 
Meaning, the origin of Unicode completely neglected that the Web was itself 
a language, deserving a dedicated plane. 

Its still like that.

IMO "we" basically, I mean ALL of us, are using it in a "bent" way a lot of 
the time.

Its got quite like the "Net" before the content/structure ideas emerged 
into "Web Standards" that cleaned things up.
