Without looking closely, or even being particularly knowledgable (how's that for a disclaimer!) my instinctive reaction was: "does the ASCII subset of Unicode need its own module just before we add Unicode to the language?" It may be that there are some semantics of ASCII that are not captured in the Unicode spec. and thus are not generalizable. I'm pretty confident that these ones ARE generalizable: isalnum isalpha isascii islower isupper isspace isxdigit How do Unicode users get this information from the famous Unicode database and why not merge the Unicode and ASCII versions in 1.6? -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for himself Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it. - http://www.cs.yale.edu/~perlis-alan/quotes.html
