OK, that sounds good. Are you saying that it "will" do this at some future date
or that it can be done now? Is this something we may need to work on?
It isn't critical but I'm trying to develop a mental catalog of what remains to
be done.

These entities will be converted to UTF-8 by the xml parser.
liblouisutdml will then convert them to UTF-16 or UTF-32, depending on how it
was compiled. This is not important. liblouisutdml then passes them to
liblouis for translation. The liblouis table used must contain a character
definition such as
sign \x1234 16-23
This is a made-up example. the word sign indicates what kind of character it
is. the \x gives the hex value the numbers in the third column give the dot
pattern. If liblouis does not have a definition for a particular character it
will place it in the output in the form '\xhhhh' so the user can look it up and
supply a definition.
