Keld - To help us decide what to use in the SGML declaration for HTML,
can you please expand on:
- The nature of the data in these proposals.
- The actual position of the proposed encodings (99999999 reaches
26 out of 31 bits).
- The seriousness of the proponents.
- The chances of such proposals to get accepted any time soon.
