  BTW, you can't represent mine either! So what!

  All I'm asking is that if you're going to go off and add support for
unicode (or some other variation) that we also add in some of the
other things. OK, idioms are really hard. Skip them. How about page
size? Can we do that? Then that fancy word processor can at least
generate the correct page format? If we're going to address
localization, let's do MORE than just the representation of
characters.
