Yes, that'd be correct. Perhaps I hadn't made it clear enough that I was 
proposing a new capability. I didn't start implementing it right away as I 
wasn't sure if you were going to find it useful.

I can start implementing it right now if you wish? Would you mind sending me a 
copy of your code, along with a file contianing a few actual latex samples, so 
that I can have something real to work with? I can fake it, of course, but it's 
much more fun working with a real application.

One of the things brltty supports is being able to map a position in the 
contracted text back to its positioin in the original text. Is your code able 
to provide this data? If not, how hard would it be to add?

Did I understand correctly that your code currently uses the BRF format, i.e. 
the characters within the range 0X20-0X5F, to represent what each cedll should 
contain?
