As I wrote in an email earlier today, I have corrected the spec today so that we use [ISO10646] to refer to the document character set and [UNICODE] to refer to the bidi algorithm EXCEPT for the documents in the sgml/* subdirectory. I would feel more confident if the other editors verified the usage here. Ian -- Ian Jacobs / 401 Second Ave. #19G / New York, NY 10010 USA Tel/Fax: (212) 684-1814 Email: ibjacobs@panix.com
