So that Peter's comments cannot be perceived as strictly Peter's view, I am seconding them. Message catalogs are not new. A proprietary coding system is a bad idea. XML is the way to go. Failure to investigate the state of the art, (especially where google is so effortless), means this idea is not pushing any envelope.
New ideas are welcome, but as Peter and others have already defined several times where the envelope needs pushing (e.g. XML), and in particular where they should not (private encodings, and hi level application semantics assigned to particular code points), continued attempts to do so are not welcome. tex [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ...>Your markup > convention is completely proprietary, it has no existing software support, > and nobody but you has any interest in it.
