    Agreed. Maybe we could have an offtopic@unicode.org just so that people can
    shift there conversations over there when they depart from discussions of
    Unicode. Then people can discuss conventions for the price of a metric pint of
    beer with hexidecimal euro number formats to their heart's content, and leave
    the rest of us in blissful ignorance.
