Hmm, I stand corrected. It just goes to show how what should be a simple
concept can be such a confusing concept--it's a shame, too, given how important
it is in computing for internationalization and information interchange.

Thanks again for the wiki page. Even though I'm wrong in regards to this, I
learned something, which is what's most important.

Kindest Regards,

Craig S.
