w/r/t encoding of non-Latin characters, I'd recommend at least looking
at the work of the "Text Encoding Initiative" (the TEI) - they're
a scholarly bunch who have standards for how to do SGML encoding
of scholarly texts esp. including representation of glyphs from languages
other than English.

as to a reference, hm.  so far as I know none of the discussions
are WAISed yet, the best bet is the listserv at UICVM.UIC.EDU.

<a href=wais://wais.cic.net/lists?tei> look in lists </a>
