       Anywhere we can find a table with the details on what
       associations are defined (or would I have to resort to trial
       and error)?

       On a side note, by the way, this afternoon I managed to create
       a small test file in FrontPage containing some Yi characters
       and then succeeded in displaying it in IE5. FrontPage created
       html that specified the characters in decimal and gave the font
       explicitly:

       <p><span style="font-size:20.0pt;font-family:&quot;SIL
       Yi&quot;">&#40960;&#40961;&#40962;&#41216;&#41217;&#41218;
       &#41472;&#41473;&#41474;&#41728;&#41729;&#41730;&#41984;
       &#41985;&#41986;
       </span></p>

        IE5 showed boxes at first, but I just changed the encoding to
       "user-defined", and immediately saw Yi. Not a bad start.
