No, we don't need. IMHO, "numeric character reference" will help (for example) a Japanese (Korean, Chinese, Russian, or Arab) person, whose computer can display Japanese (Korean,...) language, who opens English version of 'http://www.debian.org/index.html' and (s)he cannot choose his(her) language because 'Japanese' (Korean,...) is not displayed properly THOUGH HIS(HER) COMPUTER HAS PROPER FONTS. I think ASCII is the universal and safe character set. I suggest to write *** -> ###(NIHONGO) @@@ -> &&&(RUSSKII) Espa$ol -> Espa+ol and so on, where *** is 'Japanese' in Japanese letters in Japanese local codeset, ### is 'Japanese' in Japanese letters in "numeric character reference", @@@ is 'Russian' in Cyrillic letters in ISO-8859-5, &&& is 'Russian' in Cyrillic letters in "numeric character reference", $ is 'n' with tilde in ISO-8859-1 (I don't like to use ISO-8859-1 in e-mail because it is not universal), + is 'n' with tilde in "numeric character reference", and so on. Optionally, 'Espa+ol' may be 'Espa+ol(Espanol)' or may not. (I like this, but someone may feel this is too verbose.) 'NIHONGO' and 'RUSSKII' are 'Japanese' and 'Russian' in their language in ASCII characters. Though I know Japanese language can be expressed using ASCII characters like 'NIHONGO', I don't know about Korean, Chinese, Russean, and Arab (and optionally Spanish, Romanian, and French) which seem to need ASCII expression. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
