<p>I'm sorry, but I can't tell whether you are being intentionally contrarian or simply dense. To say that <a href="http://www.unicode.org";>Unicode</a> does not provide the basis for <em>markup</em> is the same as saying that Unicode does not provide the basis for English or C++. XML is <em>explicitly</em> based on Unicode. And I have not a clue as to what you mean by a "non-Unicode file format" in this context.</p> <p>If you want to invent your own system of markup (using Unicode, just as W3C has), no one is stopping you, but I for one will not be paying attention.</p> -- Curtis Clark http://www.csupomona.edu/~jcclark/ Mockingbird Font Works http://www.mockfont.com/
