One of the things that is especially useful about XML and related technologies is the facility with which data can be repurposed. You have one schema for marking up data, and stylesheets that transform it as needed for different publishing / usage contexts. Also, I don't see how it can be that a character sequence such as U+003C U+0061 U+003E can't be useful to you when some ridiculous character sequence like U+2604 U+0302 U+20E3 is. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
