[XeTeX] [OT] character encoding ideas [was: Re: Strange hyphenation with polyglossia in French]

Phil,

I sat on a BSI standards committee for a couple of years (on the roman
transliteration of Devanagari), and it was an utter nightmare.  Nooooooo!

However, it has to be said, that unless things get into BSI or ISO etc., the
big boys won't implement them in the operating systems.  Against that,
national-level standards like
ISCII<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Script_Code_for_Information_Interchange>can
do more harm than good, and set everyone back by years.
