Without breaching confidentiality too much, I feel free to say that the primary purpose of the proposed extension to Char was to allow transporting arbitrary strings of Unicode characters (but #x0 was excluded to prevent problems with C and C++ APIs). However, it was felt that the potential damage to interoperability by allowing control characters of unknown meaning, rather than translating them to markup of some sort, was too great to risk. -- John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
