Hm. <lang=en>...<\lang> that are 9+7 = 16 characters to indicate the language (and end of tag) All of them are ASCII, therefore encoded as 1 byte utf-8 each. Plane 14 requires 4 byte utf-8 each, and at least 3 characters (two tag-letters and the end-tag) - this is 12 bytes. Ok, this is less heavy, but not very much. Or what do you think what "weight" in this context means?!? Best regards. -- Dominikus Scherkl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
