Bingo. That seemed obvious to me too, but I was embarrassed that I'd left
it out of my original email. Thanks for the confirmation.
So our various XML parsers *will* allow us to store localized keynames as
attributes of the M tag? I don't care if someone using an ASCII editor to
browse our file format sees line noise like:
<m name="%^*&%*">$%&^$^$ %^*??...</m>
I just want to make sure that we've designed the file format such that we
can (eventually) store and extract those keys and values so they display
properly for our Inuktitut, Devangari, etc. users.
But hey, you're probably all over that already, right? :-)
