				It's a good idea. I have added BOM to the abbreviations. I have also a problem with ISO 10646 wording, it is unclear when an FEFF sequence is a signature and when not, why not?...; so I rather used the term &quot;FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE&quot; in the text, this at least used consistently in ISO 10646.<br />
