Mark,
>> Spending mark-place in coding table for capital letters - is inadmissible spending.
>> Let all letters will be lower case: when there is a own name or beginning of sentence,
>> one prefix-byte before a word is enough to specify, that first letter is upper-case.
>> Let's name this prefix-byte as 'mark "own name"'. It works so: #anna -> Anna
>> (where # is this prefix-byte).
>> It's necessary to tell the same about abbreviations. One prefix-byte before a word
>> is enough to specify, that all letters to symbol "blank" are upper-case.
>> Let's name this byte as 'mark "abbreviation"'. It works so: #uno -> UNO.
>> User himself puts prefix-bytes by pressing keys "Shift" and "Caps Lock".
>> So comparison of various variants of spelling (all letters are lower-case,
>> first letter is upper-case, all letters are upper-case) is reduced to
>> comparison in one variant of spelling (all letters are
>> lower-case) at search of similar word.
>> Widespread error is equating of designation of a letters (__coding__)
>> and their graphic images (__font__). It's absolutely different things.
MES> Changing things this much would break far too many things.
I supplied next version of unicode,
especially "pressed" encoding like UTF-8.
MES> There are about nine different reasons, why this is an extremely bad idea
9 ?
