Also remember he said -global- . Based on that what good is the
doing there ? Without the -rest- of the DNS servers able to
accept these chars no one else has access . Now if the inclusion
of this code is for alpha/beta testing of the inclusion of these
chars in order to determine the feasability of the codes general
inclusion then I feel that contrib is a valid placement for such
code . I am aware of several drafts having been presented on this
very subject . Afaik none of them have even gotten placed onto
the standards track . Twyl , JimL
