Why, because you want to be able to retain in a plain text encoding the larger font size in the heading "The First Syllable 'Yah'"? ;-) This whole document requires rich text. If I substituted modern cursive Hebrew letter forms for the Palaeo-Hebrew (to contrast them with the classical square Hebrew), would you want to encode those too? Respectfully, Dean A.
