The only significant component of brltty which isn't yet Unicode-based is the 
text tables support. What do you people think of getting rid of them and just 
using contraction tables (whetther or not we eventually rename them is another 
topic)? We could simply convert our current text tables into equivalent 
contraction tables.

I think there are only two issues we need to pay special attention to. The 
first is whether or not horizontal navigation works well enogh. The other is 
the way contraction table support currently splits braille windows at word 
boundaries.
