I think you explained well that native characters should be written in "character entity reference", but I think you don't explain enough the reason why we should not append ASCII expression. (You wrote it is "verbose". I think it is too weak to be a reason against "to avoid to be displayed destroyed", that is, "to be read".) > IMHO, if somebody doesn't think so, they had better first make an > effort to improve browsers which can't handle properly "character > entity reference". It is needless to say that such efforts are needed. However, a web page should not choose web browsers. I hope all major web browsers will support "character entity reference" in a few months or in a year. Then we can omit ASCII expression. Until then we need ASCII expressions (native language, English is also OK). --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://surfchem0.riken.go.jp/~kubota/
