The -1 shouldn't be necessary.  Apart from that, I like it.

This is the piece of information that I was missing; I wasn't aware that
such a font existed.  It includes everything such as Klingon and so forth
in the full Unicode space?  That must be a huge font.

I don't think Klingon is in Unicode yet. (Or is it? I don't care.)

Yes, this is a huge font. The size of ARIALUNI.TTF is 24,1 megabytes.
(Or 23,0 megabytes, if you believe that mega stands for 1024 * 1024
when it prefixes "byte").

23.0 Mibibytes. There's a whole new sequence of prefixes defined as
powers of 1024, which should encourage people to use the old ones
correctly.

I'm pretty sure Klingon is not yet in Unicode (though planned). And I'm  
not sure M$ will be able to cope, given that that'd be outside the 16 bit  
range just like the coming Chinese name characters (UCS-2 may be nice, but  
UTF-16 isn't).

Anyway, Xfree86 4.0 has some sort of unicode fonts, thanks to Markus Kuhn.

The -1 is there so that moderators who wish to include digital signatures
covering their own bits can identify the bit they have signed. It is in
line the with Signed:, Signed-1:, Signed-2 etc (with matchinv Verified-n:)
of my main signature proposal.

Anyway, that is now two people who have said they like it. Do we want to
include it as a new header in our Draft? If so, then I would suggest the
next move would be to float the idea on the moderators mailing list, and
see what reactions we get.

ATTN: Dave Barr: Time to Finish up and Close List?

I haven't heard from our chair for a long time. Does he still read
the list?

It's clear that this list is not going to achieve any major 
breakthroughs; in fact the list has completely run out of steam.

I think our editor should just drop any of the controversial stuff
from the draft, tidy up any unfinished details, send it out to the list
for one last glance and then send it off to the appropriate people
for action.

I'd like to raise a little controversy then -- I think that multiple From
addresses is unnecessarily complex and difficult to parse.  I understand the
desire to be in line with MESSFOR, but don't see any reason why we can't be
more strict.
