These are not uncharted waters. Unicode Technical Report #18, "Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines", (http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18) outlines three levels of regular expression support. Furthermore, the next versions of Perl and ECMAScript will provide regular expression extensions for Unicode characters, plus the current version of Tcl has some Unicode regular expression support and provision for more.
