Actually, the original design of Mule encoding was by RMS. When I visited MIT to discuss how to integrate the facility of Nemacs (Japanized version of Emacs) into Emacs, he explained the idea of using 0x80..0x9F for leading bytes. Based on it, I implented Mule, and then it is integrated into Emacs. I don't remember exact date of that visit; perhaps 1990 or 1991, but I'm sure I've never heard about FSS-UTF at that time. --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
