Hi, Bj&oslash;rn!

In an SGML document, you have the option of defining a character set
with a mapping to binary values in the text, outside the ISO 646
character set.  I don't have the standard handy, but I seem to
remember you define blocks of character codes in a CHARSET clause.
This is the way you deal with Japanese, Arabic, etc, characters.  A
report on how this is done, is given in ISO TR 9573 (I think that's
the number), which I also have in my SGML file.  Nice reading.

I can dig up the details for you.
