Some new meanings of words "good" and "standard", which weren't previously
known to me. As far as I remember, only new NT would have any working
"standard" in Hebrew, basing on Eli's words. Also, it will remain
"standard" as long as any proprietary technology - until it's owner won't
change it, whatever reasons. 
As for "logical" (yet another Orwellian M$ name...) - what good you see in
the fact that no one without OS support for hebrew will be able to read
your texts? I say nothing about writing something...  What "good" is that
you have to employ complicated algorithms to see where next letter should
be put on the screen, based on it's place in the character table? What was
bad in just leaving the things as they are and writing letters to the file
the way you see them?
Is that supposed to be cool?
