<p>Hi,</p>
<p>A little clarification maybe: I used HTML as an example for
encoding meta information like document structure and formatting
using Basic Latin characters, and without needing special control
characters. I did not mean that HTML is the best solution in every
possible context. However, in William's story, Patricia didn't
indicate any reason why it wouldn't be a feasible solution for
her.<br>
</p>
<p>Also, and more importantly, it was a direct reply to William's
idea of possible future formats (for which I currently can't
really see the use case), not to your original proposal. That's
also where the plane 14 characters come from.</p>
<p>From your earlier e-mails, I especially agree on:</p>
<p><span class="s1">
<blockquote type="cite"><span class="s1">However, it would be
great if Unicode at least had better character properties
for C0/C1 characters, rather than the completely wrong
properties Unicode now has for them.</span></blockquote>
</span></p>
<p>and</p>
<p><span class="s1">
<blockquote type="cite"><span class="s1">And the C0/C1
characters should not be regarded magically different from
other Unicode characters.</span></blockquote>
</span></p>
<p><span class="s1">Unfortunately, "magically different" is pretty
exactly how it feels currently.<br>
</span></p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>
Alexander<br>
