    Marion, good question. "Normal readers" comprise:

    Senior editors
    Managing Editors
    CEO's of corporations
    Print and web production managers (like myself)
    Page layout designers

    etc.

    These non-engineers are the decision makers, allocators of funds and
    time for training, the ones who make choices when it comes to the
    fundamental display unit = "The Font" etc. All of whom *must* have at
    least a basic grasp of unicode if the standard is to succeed.
