Will ISO 10646 be used by OSI 6? The problem is that, from the view point outside of Europe and US, ISO 10646 is merely a poor extension to ISO 8859-1. It assignes a single code point to different but similar characters in Japan and China. So, please don't say "international" when what you mean is merely "intereuropean". Masataka Ohta
