You can tell me what you like to see in the future, although I cannot
promise you anything (yet).  I mean I'd like to hear about the spec,
not about the implementation.  For your information, you can get and
see my experimental M17N implementation from the CVS ruby_m17n branch.

I'm not sure what you mean by "MULE-ish".  I think we are going to
