Yes and no. Yes, it applies to all non-ASCII encodings. No, I was not convinced it was useful to have non-ASCII variable names until I considered the effect it would have on documenting IRI templates in an RTL language. That was just my personal tipping point. There were already requests for the feature in general, but it adds complexity to all parsers and thus needed justification. ....Roy
