I have revised my summary of the multilingual discussion. Bill Hammond kindly started marking up the document (he actually used GELLMU, but I ran into problems and out of time, so I just pulled the plug and used standard LaTeX markup -- sorry, Bill), and I revised and amended the document to (hopefully) take everybody's comments into account. The document in its current state is very much unfinished. Since I have hard time constraints this week, the main goal of the current revision was to keep track of everything brought up so far. Therefore, I have not done very much careful editing. (Especially the appendices are really cut-and paste right now, so if someone feels like revising one of them wholesale, please feel welcome!) Comments, especially concerning Sections 2 and 3, are always welcome. (Right now I'd actually like to make the document shorter, not longer, so anything that helps is welcome.) If one of your relevant contributions did not show up, consider it lost, and I'd very much appreciate it resent as private mail. The document has grown quite a bit, so I put in on the Web, it's at http://na.uni-tuebingen.de/~oliver/latex/encodings-2.tex for the LaTeX source and http://na.uni-tuebingen.de/~oliver/latex/encodings-2/index.html for the HTML version. --Marcel
