ventaOK, so html isn't usually the first area of legislation you consider when you take over the world, but:
When I am dictator, every character set will have exactly one encoding. Forget your latin1, latin2, latin3. There will be latin, and you will like it.
Furthermore, each encoding will have exactly one name. Anyone who calls an encoding by a non-standard name will be sneered at, and will not be pandered to by the poor sods who have to put encoding support into browsers.
Not that I'm bitter today, you understand :)

no subject

Unicode 4.0?
There isn't really much excuse for characters essential to the OED not being included. Perhaps OUP should be making a formal approach to the Unicode consortium.
