. . . If you cut the Unicode
Standard loose from that deep historical context of the development
of the writing systems, and also sever it from its recent legacy
context of existing character encodings, no doubt systematizers
can find more consistent ways to take it apart and put it all back
together again -- but that is the project for the *next* standard,
not for *this* standard.
The *next* standard?!? I thought all Unicadets believed Unicode
is the FINAL standard. In fact, didn't I hear recently that
researchers have just noticed a footnote on the Rosetta Stone
that reads "Unicode is the end. There will be no more.."
:-) Sorry, Ken, I couldn't resist.
