Do you think we should implement it in every programming language possible? I have implemented this in Python (and yes, to answer your previous question about internal storage, I personally recommend using Unicode). Should my Python implementation become the standard? What about the C one? How about C++? Java? Ruby? Per... nevermind that thing ;) The point is, things like that are not standardized by writing an implementation, but by defining how an implementation should be done. Unicode does that so there is nothing for us to do except follow it (and advocate it). That is, of course, assuming it is a sane recommendation from Unicode (and on several occasions, Unicode seems to like to make very unwise decisions with regard to Arabic).
