One could use this line of argumentation to suggest the need for lots of metadata being incorporated into the plain text via plane 14 characters. For instance, do we use plane 14 characters to document the usage context in order to know what grammar / style checking rules to apply? It's all metadata. It certainly wouldn't make sense to suggest that *all* metadata being included in plain text, and I don't really see why *any* is needed. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
