  That's strange, but again we're not going to use that.

  We've already explained that in the current state of things we cannot
support liturgical Latin in 8-bit TeX, and you've implied that this
wouldn't be a problem.

  Yes please, send us anything you have, and tell us what you expect.
We cannot offer you real help otherwise.
