[I.e. be capable of displaying the correct glyphs for each entity in the set]. In deference to those out there who only live in MSDOS, perhaps this should be a switchable option? My logic says that the html generator programs will follow the browsers fairly rapidly. I.e. the html editor software programs. Is that reasonable? My only real concern is that the single ISO latin 1 is only one of a number needed for true internationalisation. A Unicode shift would give a real move forward, permitting a wider use of the other entity sets. regards, DaveP
