Processors don't have to apply the methods of Appendix F, which is a non-normative section anyhow. They can glork the right encoding from context, or apply trial and error among the list of encodings they know. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --_The Hobbit_
