o interspersing left-to-right and right-to-left writing systems
  (e.g. : Arabic - French - Hebrew - English);
 
o explicit association of portions of a text with a particular language;
 
o the definition of user-modifiable writing rules for each language;
 
o use of a standard keyboard for any language and character set;
 
o co-mingling of one-byte and multiple-byte character sets (ISO 8859
  series, GB_2312_80, BIG_5, JISX0208, KSC5601).
