>Plus there is that ellipsis thing Ken mentioned (I'm not sure
what the details are),
I think what Ken was referring to (or at least, this is
something I'm aware of) is that there is an ellipsis character
used in at least Chinese and Yi documents where the dots are
vertically centered rather than on a bottom baseline.
This may be in a gray area like Coptic/Greek (issues of
attitude and/or politics aside) where it may be possible to
unify and consider the alternates to be language/locale/writing
system-specific presentation forms. It may be possible to use
lang/loc/ws-specific substitution tables in a smart font to
pick out the necessary glyphs. On the other hand, these might
need different half-/full-width properties.
