Damn right. I'll be needing both of these for the CURIA project (Irish
literature online in SGML: http://curia.ucc.ie/curia/). We have a load
of Ogham inscriptions right here on campus.

   The Linux kernel people had what is known as the `corporate zone'
   which they decided would best be used for Klingon

At SGML'96 we discussed mechanisms for adding Braille and Morse to
Unicode, both of which would seem to predate the use of Klingon on
this li'l bitsy planet :-)
