He isn't saying that. He is asking for proof before expenditure. That is rational business thinking. Given that, Blueberry probably will pass. How did XML get this far without support for what you seem to say is fundamental Japanese? Not to point fingers but to begin to look at the problems of XML versions and just how big one should be, we should understand if there was a flaw in the way the requirements were created.

I have pointed out that at least six characters in Extension B are more important than their variants in Unicode 2.0. U+23372 U+26402 U+23647 U+2A602 U+28A99 U+28EEB In my previous mail, I have given a list of made-in-Japan kanjis which have been missing until Unicode 3.1. Do other people need more information? Frankly, I do not want to be told not to use Japanese by Elliotte.
