Sure, but it you use mule for editing, or notepad, or whatever, the possibility is higher. As tools get better, I would expect that there will be fewer and fewer occurences of zenkaku space, or hankaku katakana, and by application convention, and market pressure, they will be gone. >Neither my colleagues at my office nor the co-authors of the original >Japanese comments agree with you.
