Just a quick correction to Greg's otherwise excellent discussion of Unicode
and SGML. My correction is "SGML is about structure, not about display".
Whilst that may a subtle distinction it is very important.
Think of it in these (oversimplified terms) "SigWriting is about
handshapes; Sign Language is about putting handshapes together". Better
would be to say "SignWriting is about handshapes; Sign Language is about
communication".
