Ah, but as long as those codes are 7-bit values instead of 8-bit, it's
still not
a problem because UTF8 _is_ ASCII in the first 7 bits.
As I said in the original letter, these codes may appear from the
multi-byte coded characters. I.e. some >7 bit character is encoded as
2-3 characters, now is there any guarantee that byte 2 or 3 of this
sequence won't appear (to the only 8 bit aware program) as a control
code (as defined in my previous letter)?
You snipped Chris' next bit:
Yes -- because there is already too much redundancy on this list! For
the records, my question above is rhetorical...
