This thread presumes that display is, by orders of magnitude, the most important aspect of text processing, and that every other operation that could be performed on text is secondary. Different writing systems all represented as font changes, using the same character codes. Backing text streams jury-rigged to accommodate visual display order. This is where the real insanity lies, for anyone who needs to do more with text than display it.
The continued accusations that Unicode has been, and is only, a money-making endeavor for someone is too reprehensible and too far removed from reality to merit a response. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | RFC 5645, 4645, UTN #14 www.ewellic.org | www.facebook.com/doug.ewell | @DougEwell
