Patacode

Hi,

Regarding Arabic encoding design: well, it's not finished, but there's 
enough there to look at, and if I waited until it was finished finished 
it would never be finished.  So I'm inflicting it on the world.  Maybe 
somebody will want to collaborate on it; the XML source is there, under 
a Creative Commons license.

I think you'll find some interesting stuff; at the very least I think 
the latin-1 based mapping works quite nicely as a transliteration 
system.  Lots of clever mnemonics. ;)

Feedback heartily encouraged.  I'm also going to post an announcement to 
the Unicode list.

Hope you like it,
