I agree that the pretest should be a pre-test, not a candidate run for features that won't appear in the final release. I think the hope was that pretesting would reveal that people want character folding, and so it really was a candidate for the next release. But I'm getting a string impression that character folding isn't quite ready for prime-time as a default feature. So right now, I'm looking for arguments that it *should* be made the default; otherwise, it seems wise to me to let it wait until things have been hammered out a lot more. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
