This takes volunteers, resources, etc. I seriously doubt that
it will happen for every locale - China, Japan, Korea, India,
and so on. It's hard enough, I gather, for the Icon Project to
maintain the US-localized versions. So if we are going to talk
about alternate encoding schemes, we need to think in terms of
what is doable. And we need to think about who will do the do-
ing. I confess that since Icon 9.0 I haven't really understood
the implementation, despite the fact that I understood version
8 well enough to fool with the run-time system. 9.0 has a lot
more capabilities, but it's harder to work on (at least for me
it is).
