USB is no good, and HDMI is no good. UEFI is also no good, and Unicode also is no good. I should quote Steven J. Searle: > The sad fact of the matter is that people play politics with standards to gain commercial advantage, and the result is that end users suffer the consequences. This is the case with character encoding for computer systems, and it is even more the case with HDTV.
