Hi Mathias, Do you mean that it's not reasonable for transliteration to happen automatically? I agree. Do you mean that it's not reasonable to support specific replacements during copying? Firefox seems to support this currently (and perfectly). There are user trickery concerns here but, at least in my case, I think codepoint -> 2 byte replacement is probably safe... Thanks, David
