The markup-based solution would have to be something like yerushal<ai>ai</ai>m which would normalize to yerushal<ai>ia</ai>m Alternate tags such as <ReverseCanonicalOrder> would, of course, be possible.) Thus, it would be the markup that determined the "a(y)i" semantics and rendering, not the characters themselves. A variation (assuming that canonical ordering does not occur around markup tags), might be something like yerushala<CanonicalOrderingBlock> - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
