Check. Good thing, too, as Sebastian has noted, it's hard to show the
reference itself properly.
SB> * The last new bit talks about the case where there are two variant

SB> that the mechanism discussed is generalizable? I.e. if there are 3
SB> or more variant glyphs, you do the same thing: define one as a
SB> <char> and the others as <glyph> variants thereof.
MB> That might be useful.
CW> You could mention that, but I think it is quite obvious.
Check. I've left as is, but changed "two" to "multiple" and the rest
of the para accordingly.
[On the "u8aaa" example in revised 5.3]

MB> tempted to think that "standard" is not Unicode. How about
MB> "variant" and "standard" or something like "uniVariant" and
MB> "uniStandard"
CW> Then we call the first "Unicode" and the second "Orthographic",
CW> maybe. Since we have only a glyph here, <mapping type="Unicode">
CW> is necessary to tie this glyph to a Unicode character. The second
CW> line then points to the character considered to be "orthographic"
CW> in this case.
Changed to "Unicode" and "orthographic".
