[snipped] Okay, from Unicode 3.0, p. 48 (sec. 3.9, "Special Character Properties"), I see that NEL is _not_ in the UNICODE list of line boundary control characters. This seems odd. Why should NExt Line not be a line boundary control? I guess I need to get back on the public Unicode list and ask. (Too many lists. I'll just have to start using rules in my mailer.) I assume Line Separator and Paragraph Separator _are_ recognized as line boundary control by XML? No!? http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-line-ends Hmmm. Add a third parameter that references a character classification table override table for the parser? (I hear the sound of stomache juices sloshing.) No, let's try, instead of the second parameter being explicitly a unicode reference parameter, it is allowed to reference a character classification table override table, a few of which happen to be universally known tables matching versions of unicode. But can such a thing be done without breaking the SGML connection? And can it be done cheaply enough? efficiently enough? Will it require features not available in common OSses to implement? (The shared static library problem _has_ been solved, hasn't it?) Maybe NEL should be set aside. But (IMnsHO) Blueberry should allow any UNICODE line boundary control as line separating characters. I wonder if anyone at IBM has evaluated the possibility of slipping a pass into the process of translating their EBCDIC documents that would map the NEL to an XML entity or special tag followed by a line feed. I get the feeling I'm repeating in monologue a discussion that has been had elsewhere.
