Please accept my apology for applying the term "Non-HTML" to content. "Silly" is too kind. But I still don't see the nightmare. What is markup for except to tell the typesetter (browser, in this case) what to do with the content? What, then, is unacceptable in a tag that says "This text is in Sanskrit. Give it to a Sanskrit interpreter for translation before setting it."? Certainly this content should be marked by HTML tags. If you've chosen HTML as your markup language, NOT using HTML to indicate the Sanskrit would be silly. Confusing, too. David Perrell
