Referring to linkers and alike not being able to recognize symbols
written with different fonts, you do have a point there... If we
haven't done it already, I suggest that we differ between characters
used for representation of natural language text, and those used
within computer software to denote symbols, filenames and alike.
Software dealing with all the properties of national characters will
probably be huge, and I wouldn't like to include it in my operating
system just to get my file listings sorted "alphabetically". Now I
refer primarily to traditional, "low-level" operating systems. In a
window-oriented, database, user-friendly, <whatever> system things
might be different, though.
What I'm saying is that ASCII95 will probably have to stay in some
way or another, together with whatever Kanji Word Processor Standard
will be created. Sorry if this has been discussed and/or agreed upon
already.
