Lots of us were pretty ignorant when we got started on XML. We took the motherhood decision to "base it on Unicode" without really understanding what that meant, and got a very stiff and rapid education at the merciless hands of the real Unicode wonks who simply wouldn't let us go too far off the rails. However, the group did include a people like me who'd delved heavily into non-Latin text processing in the bad old pre-Unicode style and thus were well-placed to understand why this was important. -Tim
