Do you know the work of the W3C i18n ITS Working Group, see http://www.w3.org/International/its/ ? It is a possible answer to (some of) your problems. The working group recently published a working draft , see http://www.w3.org/TR/its/ . You will see a list of topics we are currently addressing and planning to address in the future at "Work items in the Wiki" on http://www.w3.org/TR/its/ . If you need more information, I would like very much to be helpful. Cheers, Felix Sasaki (team contact of the ITS Working Group)
