   You got the point. You will have multibytes in unicode and multibytes plus   
   html around it.   
      
    BP> programmers dont understand double encodeing problems   
      
   You can't blame a standard for that. There will be programmers that don't   
   understand html too.

    BP> and unicode solve that much better then html, hmm   
      
   I never said that. You must have the multibyte sequence to define the symbol.   
   Why adding memory space and cpu requiring htmltags around it? I don't see the   
   advantage.
