I'm saying tolerant and not conformant because for complexity and space I see no reason to support the full specification.

Support the spec, the whole spec, and everything in the spec; just bite the bullet and do it, you'll be glad you did, even though its gonna be a royal pain in the butt.

I remember when the Python community went through this... and it WAS a royal pain in the butt... but they persevered and most everyone is very happy with the result. We have a few dissenters, but by and large it was a huge success!

Its just time for everything collaborative in computer science-- 'must needs' Unicode UTF-8 support ( all symbols, all languages ).

The world is becoming a very small place. We need to keep everyone (all heart languages) in mind, and in code. Its a major responsibility. Just sayin
