   I wonder what this means.  Legacy to me means all these symbols   
   were 7-bit ASCII.  So now we have multiple encodings for '<'   
   and '>' plus a whole host of others already represented in   
   ASCII ?   
      
   That is crazy, it is bad enough there are multiple symbols   
   for single-dashes and quotes.
