I think Joseph and Meiser understand what a lot of the problems are. There are
still lots of problems with the wrong punctuation being used I also had sent a
page and if you search back in the emails you will find it that had more than
half of the new examples of UEB still not working. Here is the page again:
http://www.brailleauthority.org/ueb/overview_changes_ebae_ueb.html
Just looking at {}, (), [], things like * and the others on the punctuation
table there are an amazing amount of them not working. Not only that but there
are dot 7's still in the table.
Next in the capitalization rule it says that after a dash the a double
capitalization mark is canceled so the following is broken
THIS-is-broke
The back translation of the previous make all words capitalized and it adds
spaces around the dashes.
The following is also broken triple capitalization mark which is supposed to
mark a phraze that has 3 or more words doesn't work in our tables and I am not
sure if it is a table problem I think it might be the parser.
Example:
THIS IS BROKEN AS WELL
I have not yet tested the double 56 and triple 56 but I will and see what
happens.
My point is it is broken and users notice immediately when they try to use it.

Ken,
Please specify just what you mean by full support of UEB. Specifics are needed
by those who do implementations.
The googlecode project pages already have a bug tracker.
