One wishes that Word for OS X, or AppleWorks for OS X, or InDesign 
for OS X, allowed one to input text in Unicode. But one step at a 
time, I guess. :-)

Actually, InDesign lets you paste Unicode text from a TextEdit RTF 
document, but for instance Devanagari ligatures are undone. Maybe you 
could typeset Polish text this way but there are certainly 
limitations. You can't use a keyboard layout to enter text anyway.
