Excellent idea! This ASCII stuff has some very similar looking characters, they should never have been allowed. "L' and "1", "O" and "0". Typewriters had just one key for these characters, it was good enough then ... Personally I feel that the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets have not proved their worth and we should go back to using Greek and Etruscan scripts. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
