The widespread use (as opposed to the mere existence) of a Phoenician encoding in Unicode imposes costs on at least some Semiticists that they do not wish to pay, at least without some assistance from Unicode. Hence my desire to have Phoenician and Hebrew collate together at the first level (more for searching than for sorting). -- John Cowan www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Penguin shall hunt and devour all that is crufty, gnarly and bogacious; all code which wriggles like spaghetti, or is infested with blighting creatures, or is bound by grave and perilous Licences shall it capture. And in capturing shall it replicate, and in replicating shall it document, and in documentation shall it bring freedom, serenity and most cool froodiness to the earth and all who code therein. --Gospel of Tux
