My work on the emphasis code will not rely on that patch, so it would be no
problem to integrate it.

Mike may also want to chime in here but...
You should probably integrate it. It just fixes a minor problem with words that
have exactly two characters emphasized.
Ultimately some things are going to be pulled out of LibLouis, the existing
caps handling for example, but our plan is to keep most of the emphasis code
working as it does now so that we don't break anyone's current use cases. At
the very least we'll avoid changing the current API calls. We really are doing
this with the philosophy of keeping the basic LibLouis style of doing things.

Dear Keith/Mike,
What do I do with the end emphasis patch that Mike provided? I had planned to
integrate it, but of course I won't if you think it's no use anymore,
considering the new plans. Maybe you will reimplement the whole thing anyway?
By the way how exactly should I imagine this? You want to treat capitalization
as another form of emphasis, so I imagine a lot of the current code will be
ripped out, right?
