Subject: Re: Phonetic/Phonemic E-Mail Alphabet



I strongly agree with Bill's advocacy of UNICODE as opposed to

SGML-type markup for non-ASCII characters. Of course, current

7-bit E-mail can't handle UNICODE (although it *could* with

with some sort of mail agent client which could shift from UNICODE

to 7-bit. And, of course, it would give us non-Roman alphabets, etc.,

as well. WWW, Mosaic, and the like can already deliver accents, etc.

at long distance, making the TEI's 7-bit work-around less and less

impt.
