	Interesting that you should be doing the same!

	Yet, I have to disagree. Furthermore, it is sad that your cites were so 
	minimal and thereby misleading.

	1) and is not a greek word. Yet it was written in a greek font.
		Thereby, indicating that something is very wrong with the
		coding of the source ! Therefore the triple exclamation.
		I would have used that, too!!

	2) Designers or authors of packages, design things a certain way and
	     have their reasons the way things should work and why. Just because
	     the original posted is not happy is a different matter.

	3) Apostolos, offers a solution. That is to hand code. 
	    Bibliographic work in TeX et al is not good at multi-lingual
	    support. A well know fact! So, some tweaking is required.
	    
At least, I found his post to the point and helpful. Maybe, not what you
expected or wanted. On the other side I can not say the same of your post.

regards
	Keith.
