This doesn't make sense to me. Most users don't need it, but on
the odd occasion when they open a document containing text in
another script, they really don't like seeing gibberish. And
disk space? We're not talking about a lot of space to add at
list rendering support. A *lot* more space on their drives is
going to be taken up by other functionality in the OS and/or
apps that will have a far greater impact on their need to buy
new drives than will this. Certainly disk space is a non-issue.
