The problem is that you can't make the document multilingual that way. But HTML and XML allows you can still go like; <SPAN lang=en>Hello!</SPAN> <SPAN lang=ja>Doumo!</SPAN> The problem is you can't make text/plain to go that way with Unicode because of Character Unification. So far you have to resort to markups and that is the reason I am objecting to Character Unification. Dan the Man with Too Many Tags
