Using English in England makes sense too, but don't expect everybody
to be able to understand your code.

Actually, I meant needing an editor that can work with IME or similar to
produce/input and read (is: show) the Chinese characters. Wasn't it that
Swahili, Esperanto and English were the only languages completely
supported by US-ASCII?
Btw, I am talking of ASCII like encodings here. Bigger trouble strikes
when going to EBCDIC, which is valid in XML as an encoding and is not
compatible with US-ASCII, messing even the "lower" characters.... I
wished that Unicode had matured in 1960....
