Dear Jonathan,<BR>
<BR>
this sounds fantastic. Is this substitution scheme going to have a syntax permitting the use of character ranges and maybe even replacement patterns? So that one might be able to reorder character positions saying something like (assuming syntax resembling grep): <BR>
<BR>
([U+0915-U+0939]) (U+0930) > \2\1<BR>
<BR>
I suppose one could spell out these substitutions for each case, but it would save time...<BR>
